VIDEO: Bank Robber’s First Mistake Was Loading The Wrong Ammunition, His Second Was …

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

“Yeah, rimless .380 won’t work in a .38.”

Would have been a different story with a 32ACP in a 32 S&W long, though.

Actually, that's what my dad had loaded in his bedside gun for ten years or so.

I got a call from my sister asking me to see what was wrong with the gun when she took it out to the range and it wouldn't fire ;o)

Well, no Terry Frost IV

He was 20 years old, he could have several, by several different mommas.

“The “rimless” 380 is held in the chamber by the rim of the case where the bullet is seated. This is how the rimless 45ACP round is positioned in a 1911auto.”

Actually the .380ACP and .45ACP are head-spaced on the case mouth, not the rim. Just my $.02 worth...

Oops, sorry. You described it correctly as the bullet end (mouth) of the case. Need coffee. Have a great Memorial Day.

I agree. The lip of the case is what positions the case in the chamber.

It was getting late last night and I was trying to find the right words to describe the end of the case opposite of the end where the primer is.
That is the end where the bullet is seated.
