38-Year-Old Man carrying a concealed handgun protects himself against four armed robbers
The police have clearly classified this as another legitimate defensive gun use. These armed robbers may have committed a string of these crimes.
According to Nesky, a person was approached by four armed males while in the 14900 block of Health Center Drive in Bowie Tuesday around 5 p.m.
The four, armed suspects demanded property from the person, which was taken. The victim, described as a 38-year-old man, was then told to hand over his car keys. It was after that moment that the victim produced a handgun and shot one of the robbers. After the subject was shot, the suspects fled on foot.
Police are calling the reaction self-defense. They said the victim’s handgun was registered in another state.
“During the course of this incident, the victim was able to produce a handgun and fired in what we believe to be self-defense, striking one of the robbery suspects,” police said. . . .
Police are investigating the incident to see if it is related to similar incidents in the region.
