AIKEN, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man trying to rob a couple who thought they were going to buy a car off Craigslist has been shot and killed.
Aiken County deputies said in a news release that officers are looking for the second robber after he ran away following the shooting Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators say the would-be robbers pulled out a gun and demanded money when they met the couple at an Aiken gas station where they planned to buy a car listed on the Internet site.
Deputies say while the gun was pointed at the man, his girlfriend pulled her own weapon and shot at the robbers.

you know what. that’s life.
i’m sure some of us have gotten into a little trouble at one time or another in our teens or early twenties, but when you threaten to harm someone, you’ve crossed the line.
and that’s that.
The line of fire crosses her arm for every one of the guns she pulls out of her purse.
"Save yo-self 20 purcent off dis mutha----ing carr shawty! Sale done ends today!"
I dont get Craigs list anyway. I have listed items on there and invariably, get a message saying, I want to buy your item. Please remove the ad, as I am sending a check to you by Fed Ex, or some other service, other than the US mail. THAT is the first red flag, cause using the mail service makes it mail fraud.
To shorten the story, they want you to take money included in the “check” and pay the shipper that they send, and then whatever is left over, mail back to them.
Two months later your bank will call and say that the “check” was counterfeit and that the amount was deducted from your account.
I caught on to the fraud as soon as the “customer” said Fed Ex would be coming with a check.
LOL, yeah but nearly enough in my opinion.
