“ICE agent opens fire on purse snatcher”

Rather misleading headline. Purse snatchers grab and run. This guy confronted the agent using a gun and demanded her purse. That makes him a robber, not a purse snatcher. I wonder if the headline was intended to garner sympathy for the perp? Or disdain for ICE?

This guy was an armed robber pointing a gun at a woman and demanding her purse, not a “purse snatcher”. Here’s hoping he got two in the heart and one in the head.

Sounds like he's both a robber and purse snatcher, from what I read in the article.

The robber may have been shot as he fled with the purse, police said.
