| 2010-10-29 |
| A Pierce County Security guard shot at a man suspected of robbing a sandwich store while armed with a handgun Wednesday night in Lakewood. And missed. The robbery was reported at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. The man robbed the Subway at 7701 Steilacoom Blvd. S.W. while armed with a handgun. The robber took an undisclosed amount of cash and ran from the store. He was last seen going west. About the time of the 911 call, an armed Pierce County Security guard doing his rounds pulled into the restaurant's parking lot. The guard noticed a man running through the lot. The man wore a bandana over his face and carried a dark-colored handgun, Lawler said. "He's not aware of the robbery," he said. "He gives chase believing some crime had been committed." "Gives chase"? Security guards don't do that. Supercop, he's not. The guard followed the suspect in his car and on foot to behind Custer Elementary School. The guard told police that the suspect stopped and turned. RAB wouldn't even hire this guy. "Believing he's going to be fired upon, the guard fires one round," Lawler said. Dumbass. Hope you enjoy filling out the paperwork after discharging your weapon, as well as getting terminated from your job. The guard told police he didn't think that he hit the suspect because the suspect ran off. A police dog searched for the area but didn't find the suspect. While the guard was chasing the suspect, someone stole his personal computer and other items from his car, Lawler said. You can't make this stuff up. Barney Fife would feel embarrassed for this guy. |
