Teen shot in chest in robbery attempt

[ScooterTrash]

IRVING - An Irving teen-ager accused of trying to rob a man at gunpoint Wednesday night was shot by the victim in a parking lot of an apartment complex, police said Thursday.

The 16-year-old remained in intensive care in critical condition Thursday at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, police said. The teen suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, police said.

The man was not injured, police said. Police declined to identify the man or the teen.

No other injuries were reported in the shooting that occurred about 9 p.m. Wednesday in the 9400 block of E. Valley Ranch Parkway.

The attempted holdup victim, a 45-year-old Irving man, told police that he was sitting in his pickup truck in the parking lot, talking on his cellphone, when the teen walked up. The teen - armed with a semi-automatic handgun - demanded the man's cellphone and wallet, police said.

The man told the teen he would give him his wallet and acted as though he was going to get it, but instead grabbed a larger caliber revolver that was lying on the seat, police said.

As he pushed the teen's gun away, the man shot the suspect, police said.

The teen spun around and ran away, police said. Fearing that the teen would return, the man drove away from the complex, police said.

A few minutes later, residents found the teen, without a handgun, sitting on a curb near the apartment complex office, telling them he had been shot, police said.

The teen was transported by ambulance to Parkland, police said. As the teen was headed to the hospital, the man called police to say that he had almost been robbed at the apartment complex.

The man drove back to the complex and gave police details of the attempted holdup.

Because the teen did not have a handgun when he was found, police searched the complex and discovered it a few hours later.

"At this point, we believe it was self-defense," Irving police spokesman David Tull said.

The teen is expected to be charged with aggravated robbery, Tull said. The shooting case will be turned over to a Dallas County grand jury for consideration, Tull said.

[hotcknstrips]

I would've done the same. sad, but it's almost dog eats dog out there. or try the "democrat" thing and try to reason with him, while he points a gun to your face?? :laughing6

[ArturoC]

Nice. Too bad this doesn't happen often enough to be a deterent.

[CarbonJames]

it's good that the table was turned on him. maybe he'll think twice before trying to rob someone else.

[Moody]

Sucks to be him. Funny how people think in this world. Sometimes we learn the hard way but, I have found that usually just asking for something will get you better results then taking it. :dontknow:

[texasyankee]

Let me get this straight. A guy is sitting in his truck in a dark parking lot late at night with his gun on the seat and talking on a cell phone. A young punk thinks he has money and trys to rob him.

Why do I think there is more to this story? The words "drug deal gone wrong" keep coming to my mind.

[Sc0]

Wrong place wrong time and bad luck for the perp, easy money worth a life?

Exactly, if only this was the case everytime :icon_thum

btw, welcome to motohouston:nod: even if you are a yank:keke:

[texasyankee]

Don't get me wrong. The thief got what he deserved, but I suspect the shooter was not totally innocent.

amazes all the people cheering on that a person was hurt. rather he was doing wrong or not it's not cool to condone violence rather it be right or wrong.

Hard for me to comment on the victim or the squid since I was not there but, had I a gun stuck in my face, my reaction would have been the same. Anything it takes to protect my family and me. What wou you do?

What wou you do?sure itwould have done the same but i went be cheering on whati had to do saying shit like "**** yeah he got what he deserved....blah blah blah" i don't cheer on the death or hurting of a fellow man no matter what he did. that shit about nos raven or anything said on this board by me is just bs i'm really just trying to rustle some feathers is all.

[TxVrod]

No, you're right about that but, with some respect, it's very diffiicult to have sympathy for him. More than him, I have sympathy for the parents - but only because they have to see their son hurting.

[TxVrod]

100% agreed.

I x-posted the article to another forum... where it got delete by an over-zealous moderator.... but I think the most powerful statement I could make there was that discipline starts with the parents. That's too hard to argue.

[batman007]

although he deserved it,, too bad he was only 16,, what are kids doing these days..

yep, cool to punch a hole in a young thug, especially since he's young and to get him before he has a chance to grow in his feild and do harm to lots of people. good job shooter, yeeees.

[mad]

Well now the thief will sue the guy because he shot him and can’t work

[ScooterTrash]

well, at least he is still alive, maybe he will change his ways after his GRAVE mistake. cant blame the shooter, I'd horizontally ventilate him also if the gun was on me.
recently I had a youngster try the same crap, only reason he is still alive is due to the fact he was smart enough to keep the pistol hanging out of his shorts, not actually drawn on me. we both get to live another day because of it.

[ScooterTrash]

sad but probably true, this *****fied liberal world will somehow find fault with the shooter in a civil court and make the thug a wealthy fellow.
our society sucks massively

beleive me i don't condone his actions and shit and really think he deserved what he got but i don't cheer on that someone got hurt is all.

[TxVrod]

knowing Scoot, he would have been sad that it came to that had he shot him.

I wouldnt have been happy, well, I would be happy if I survived the exchanging of lead, but crap, he brought on his own misery, I will be sad knowing the worthless turd prolly doesnt have insurance and our tax dollars are being used to keep his sorry ass alive

So it is wrong to be happy that a thug got hurt? Too bad he wasn't killed... That would make me happier because it would be one less punk on the streets to harm my family and I.
