Three hold-up men who were robbing a Shreveport vape store earlier this week lost track of who was in the business when they pulled their guns. In the image above, you can see two men on the left slip out the door as the thieves busied themselves with the clerk behind the counter on the right.
Here’s the video the Shreveport PD have released (you may have to view it at Facebook) . . .
Those two customers didn’t just leave the scene, though. They went back to their vehicle, retrieved a couple of guns — one of them an AR — and then engaged the three stick-up men as they left the building.
The Shreveport Police Department reports . . .
As the robbery suspects exited the business the customers engaged them, and an apparent exchange of gunfire took place between at least one of the patrons and the robbery suspects. Two of the robbery suspects were struck by gunfire and ultimately succumbed to their injuries. The third robbery suspect escaped on foot and has not been identified at this time. He is described as a black male wearing gray shorts and a black hoodie and stands approximately 5’6” to 5’8” tall with a slender build.
In the immortal words of Meatloaf, two outta three ain’t bad. The SPD is apparently looking for not only the escaped thief, but the two good Samaratans as well. Let’s hope they avoided injury in stopping an armed robbery.
