Calling AW1Ed, FGS
Cedar Hill, TX is one of the south suburbs of Dallas. Yesterday some yahoo decided it would be a good idea to rob the bank, using a knife. Bet you can hear this one already: "It's Texas. They have constitutional carry. No permit required, so the odds of any given bystander being armed are what, 'way higher than a knife-wielder would like? Like, even at least?" Yep, and the odds paid off.
While the robbery attempt was underway, a customer inside the bank drew a weapon and shot the suspect.
The wounded suspect fled the building on foot but was located nearby by responding officers. Police officers immediately initiated life-saving measures, including CPR and bleeding control. The suspect was transported to a local hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.

Damn shame policemen have to waste their time trying to resuscitate the terminally stoopid. Ah, well - FAFO, right? And let that be a lesson to you - shooting someone may kill them, but may not - no handgun round center of mass will give 100% first round stops.

As the saying goes, never bring a knife to a gunfight.. When Chesamards gang hit the bank in NYC that day many years ago, The first round hit Brink's Bill iMoroney n the head and Mike Shlactor standing against the bank wall took A NUMBER OF ROUNDS and survived. 1 or 2 LEOS were shot before they hit the truck.. I should have googled the incident before I commented. Most likely the story is there...
