A more informative [article from the L.A. Daily News](http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20160326/south-la-taco-stand-employee-shoots-kills-would-be-robber). FTA: > [@](#): > > The shooting took place at San Pedro Street and West Century Boulevard about 11:30 p.m. Friday, LAPD Lt. Clint Dohmen said. > > “Three men walked up to the taco stand with the intention of robbing it,” Dohmen said. “One of the men pulled out a handgun and one of the employees at the taco stand pulled out his gun and fired at the robbers.” > > The would-be robber with a gun was shot and later died at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Dohmen said. The clerk shot the guy with the gun, stopped shooting him when he wasn’t a threat anymore, and didn’t shoot anyone else. Better than the cops do, frankly. Really, the fact the criminals were _robbing_—[taking money or goods in the possession of another, from his or her person or immediate presence, by force or intimidation](http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/robbery)—should be sufficient. OTOH, the media is frequently imprecise with their descriptive language, and it wouldn’t be surprising for them to call a mere theft a robbery. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/positive-gun-news-of-the-day/735490)._
