Security officer shoots armed men during robbery www.privateofficer.com
Brownsville TX Sept 23 2009
Brownsville police are investigating a robbery gone wrong and that ended with two suspects shot. One of the suspects remained in critical condition Tuesday.
The shooting took place at approximately 11:15 p.m. Monday at 620 Paredes Line Road at the Cherry 777 Arcade, said police spokesman Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique.
A 20-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy tried to rob the arcade with pellet guns, but an armed security guard thought the suspects were armed with handguns, Manrrique said. The security guard discharged his weapon, hitting the man twice and grazing the teen in the head, Manrrique said.
“There was an armed security guard at the entrance of the arcade who confronted the two while they tried to rob the place,” the spokesman said. “He shot them, striking the 20-year-old twice on his torso while he grazed the 15-year-old in the head with a .40 caliber Glock pistol.”
The two managed to get in a silver Lincoln Navigator and flee the scene, only to be stopped shortly after by a Cameron County Sheriff’s Department Deputy for running a stoplight, he said.
“We received a call from a sheriff’s deputy who had stopped a vehicle after it ran a red light at Price (Road) and Paredes Line Road,” Manrrique said. “As soon as they were pulled over both of them came out of the vehicle saying that they had been shot and collapsed right there on the ground.”
The man was listed in critical condition at Valley Regional Medical Center- Brownsville.
“Were still waiting to see if he pulls through (survives, so he can be charged),” Manrrique said. “The next 24 hours are going to be very critical for him to determine if he pulls through and survives this shooting.”
The Brownsville Herald typically does not publish the names of suspects until they are charged. The names of juveniles are not published unless they are indicted to stand trial as an adult.
The teenage suspect was stable and out of danger, recovering while under guard at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville, the spokesman said.
Police were still interviewing witnesses and investigating the arcade to determine if it was operating according to Texas laws or paying out cash in violation of the law, Manrrique said.
