Darwin Nominee: Robber Pulls Piece, Shoots Himself Dead
'Nuff said.
 A 19-year-old man accidentally shot and killed himself Tuesday morning while he was attempting to rob a Grand Prairie home, authorities said.
| 'Gimme yer dough! [BANG!] ... and call me an ambulance!' |
Cameron Sands, 19, of Fort Worth kicked in the door of the house and then shot himself in the stomach as he pulled a gun out of his pants to shoot the homeowner, Grand Prairie police said. The homeowner was not injured.
| 'Okay. You're an ambulance.' |
After Mr. Sands shot himself, he dropped the gun and ran out of the home.
| 'Blood-soaked sneakers don't fail me now!' |
Police found his body around 5:30 a.m. in the driveway of the home in the 2800 block Garden Grove Road, said Lt. John Brimmer, a Grand Prairie police spokesman.
| 'Hello? Is this the police? There's a blood-soaked body in my driveway. Wouldja mind hauling it away? I can't get my car out!' |
This is the first that Ive heard of a robbery suspect killing himself as he is drawing a gun out of his waist band, Lt. Brimmer said. The criminal evidence points to that. It certainly isnt common. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner has ruled the death an accident.
...and so we bid a a not so fond farewell to Cameron "Quick Draw" Sands.
