Two would-be robbers who were fatally shot at a liquor store in the Gresham neighborhood Saturday night have been identified as a 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy, authorities said.

Keshawn Marzette, 15, of the 8300 block of South Throop Street, and William Larson, 17, of the same address, were pronounced dead on the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Autopsies Sunday determined both died of multiple gunshot wounds and their deaths were classified as homicides, the office said.

The two were shot to death by a store employee about 8:30 p.m. when they tried to rob Z&S Food & Liquor in the 1300 block of West 87th Street, sources said.

I just fear for the fellow that defended his life with a gun.

It is also interesting to note that the OP article (according to what I read) didn’t indicate whether either of the deceased “bad-guys” presented weapon during the robbery attempt.

I look for correction.

Technicality I'm sure. As opposed to accident, suicide, etc.

Who knows in Rahmistan, though.

Store owner needs to post 3 silhouettes at the entrance with the legend “Two more and I’m an Ace!”

“He showed me his class schedule, filled out his FAFSA and everything,” Brandon said, referring to a form for student aid. “He didn’t even get a chance to start.”

Yet another case of permanent and instant rehabilitation at the hands of an armed law abiding citizen. Just think of the public funds saved and future human misery avoided. Yummy!

Marzette and Lawson received lead tokens of gratitude for their business.

I wonder if doing armed robberies was part of his work-study funding?

Then there was that sign at a moslem demonstration in England that said "Behead those who insult islam". I remember finding the original news source photo that verified it.

The photoshopped version was "Behead those who say islam is violent"

...their deaths were classified as homicides....

Thanks for explaining that part.

I used to think that homosexuals were highest in the hierarchy as the most vulnerable, the most victimized of victims, but proof they are not is that Muslims can say anything about them and the establishment media won’t bat an eye.

Houston, not New Orleans,was hardest hit by hurricane Katrina.Flood waters have long receded from N.O. but Houston is still paying the price.

GREAT POST! That is the liberal & media hierarchy.

All these rapes in Sweden and Germany and governments and the media cover for the mooselimbs.

By doing nothing, it encourages the pukes to continue and even ramp it up.

Next, they'll be throwing gays off of rooftops, like they do back home.

My first thought on reading the title was “Please tell me he kept shooting until they were dead.” Glad to see that was the case. Leaving robbers alive is a good way to invite payback...and lawsuits, in our insane nation.
