An Ohio criminal made the mistake of robbing a bank that had an armed, off-duty police officer inside — and loaded his gun with the wrong kind of ammunition.
The now-deceased 20-year-old Terry Frost III timed his robbery perfectly Wednesday, and knew the exact moment the teller withdrew $90,000 from the ATM. Police have now released surveillance footage of the shooting.
Frost sprinted into a Madison, Ohio bank and within seconds jumped the front desk, grabbed the bag, and then found himself on the receiving end of Officer Kevin Hankerson’s weapon.
Frost pointed his weapon, wrapped in a plastic shopping bag, at the officer and it misfired. Hankerson fired twice, hitting Frost once in the chest. The hapless criminal loaded the wrong ammo, investigators found, when they finally tracked down Frost, dead in a nearby wooded area, Cincinnati.com reports.
Investigators are still puzzled as to how Frost knew the exact moment when the teller would have $90,000 sitting out for him to snatch. They said it was very likely Frost tried to fire his .38 caliber Derringer during the robbery, because when they examined the weapon, they saw the firing pin had been struck. Frost had loaded .380 ammunition into the weapon.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said Friday the shooting was justified and the officer will not be brought before a grand jury.
“It was as clean a police-involved shooting as I’ve ever seen,” Deters said at a press conference.
“Officer Hankerson committed a great act of bravery in his actions and he should be commended for what he did,” he added
Do not load a rimless round into a weapon requiring rimmed ammunition. Also, on second thought, do not rob a bank with a uniformed LEO standing there.

Might want to check the teller's cell-phone log.
Seems to me it is best not to rob banks with, or without LEO present actually.
When I first read the headline, I figured he put a G19 9mm mag in a G23 chambered for .40.

One thing I never understand about some of these inner city gangbangers — how do they learn to shoot? I mean, they wouldn’t actually spend time at the range, right?
I’m guessing that a lot of them don’t know how to load the gun or fire the gun. Chicago stories in particular — I figure that many of the murders are committed by some thug who is firing the gun for the very first time.
Yeah, rimless .380 won’t work in a .38.
Or, another employee who could watch the different monitors, then make the call to the now-late Mr. Frost.
but now he is the late Mr. Frost.
“An Ohio criminal made the mistake of robbing a bank that had an armed, off-duty police officer inside — and loaded his gun with the wrong kind of ammunition.”
I attribute this level of ignorance to the abysmal government educational system.
Man, I hate it when I do that...
Definitely a candidate for the 2016 Darwin Awards.
Must have been a Nancy Pelosi style liberal, ignorant about firearms, thinking that since diameter is the same the ammo would be the same.
... His father... said his son made a mistake but didn’t deserve to die...
Obviously the perennial aspiring rapper turning his life around...
He didn’t deserve to die because his Derringer misfired as he tried to kill someone during an armed robbery. If this pathetic gangster wannabe thug didn’t deserve to die while doing this, what does?
Well, no Terry Frost IV
...and also don’t strike your firing ping. [more poor writing and stupid editors]
Oh, he deserved to die, and his father deserves jail time for saying something so stupid.
