GARDENA, Calif. (KABC) -- Gardena police say an attempted robbery suspect was shot by his alleged victim on Saturday evening.

Police said the suspect approached an off-duty security guard around 6:15 p.m. in the 2000 block of Rosecrans Avenue while simulating a handgun and demanding property from the victim. Investigators said the victim feared for his life. He shot the suspect once in the stomach.

Finger to gunfight.

Does this now constitute "brandishing a weapon"?

Good Work.

Not enough details for an analysis. But next time, shoot higher. :)

[Revolting cat!]

Not victims are “alleged” too? Vince Foster, alleged victim. But then, what difference does it make at this point IN TIME?!

[a fool in paradise]

Are these allegations of victimhood worth pursuit?

Should the alleged victim form a PAC to lobby candidates?

Is that really a picture of the “alleged” president? If so, where’s the fly? They must have photshopped it out.

How can they be so sure his hand wasn’t an assault handgun? Well I guess it technically was a hand gun! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[Right Wing Assault]

It had to be an assault hand gun.

I think his finger did have a bayonet mount and certainly a flash hider. And nearly everyone has a foldable stock for their trigger finger. And, my finger can fire thousands of rounds a second for hours! Even when I was a kid. So, I would imagine his could, too.

Verdict: assault finger/hand gun.
