Robbery victim shoots assailant at carwash

An 18-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday when he tried to rob another man at a midtown carwash and was shot by the victim, Tucson police said.
The incident occurred at a self-service carwash on East 22nd Street near South Beverly Avenue just before 4:30 p.m., said Sgt. Diana Lopez, a police spokeswoman.
A 50-year-old man was washing his car when he was approached by the 18-year-old man, Lopez said.
The younger man pulled out a gun and attempted to rob the older man, she said. The older man pulled out his own gun and shot the 18-year-old.
The younger man ran away and got into a vehicle that was being driven by another person. A short time later, the 18-year-old man showed up at a hospital with life-threatening injuries, she said.
The 50-year-old man was not injured. He was being questioned by police.
The driver of the car who took the wounded man to the hospital also was in police custody.

I thought Wyatt Earp already went on to his reward.   At least that’s what happened in the movie.  Maybe he’s still around.

It’s just not safe to be a criminal anymore.

On the other hand, it may not be safe to be one of the good guys, either.
