Security ... think about it!
Police say that a 50 year old man was washing his car at the self-service car wash on East 22nd Street, near South Beverly Avenue at about 4:30 PM when a robber approached him. The robber is said to have pulled out handgun, and threatened the man's life. The victim reportedly drew his self defense gun and shot the robber, causing the robber to flee to a get-away vehicle driven by a suspected accomplice. Shortly thereafter, a suspect arrived at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound matching that of the robber. The injured suspect, and the person who drove him to the hospital, are in custody. The robbery victim was unharmed.
