Video of robber fleeing after he stole $20 from the shooter who killed a 9 year old little girl. Shows him climbing a fence with the skill you would expect from an Olympic athlete.
I laughed hard at that video! :cheers2:

The suspect who robbed Earls is still on the run. The robbery happened at the same Chase Bank where a 49-year-old woman was shot and killed in October 2021. Attorney Rick Ramos, who also handled that same shooting, is now representing Arlene’s family.

“If you look at the callouts from the Houston Police Department you will see the crime activity is overwhelming in the last 24 months at the same Chase bank building premises,” said Attorney Ramos said in a press release. “At least two robberies had been reported before Mary Jane was killed in October, one of them took place on August 2, subsequently another one around September 23, 2021 and then in October, Mary Jane Gonzalez was actually killed on the premises.”
Sounds like a dangerous area

I'm not sure that this precludes shooting at an armed robber running off with your property... thoughts?
Robbery isn't complete until the robber gets away with the property and an robber armed with a firearm is still dangerous at a distance.

That said, from what we know it sounds foolish to discharge your weapon in a busy public area without proper marksmanship skills.

Prayers for the little girl and her family.

Armed robbers are the worst sort. I hope they catch the robber before he strikes again, and I hope the robbery victim gets some marksmanship lessons.
