Police: Utility worker shoots, kills armed robber in North County
http://www.kmov.com/story/30529473/police-utility-worker-shoots-kills-robber-in-north-county ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) - A utility worker shot and killed an armed robber following a confrontation in north St. Louis County Monday morning, police in St. Louis County said. Just before 9 a.m., three contractors from ADB Utility Company were working on water lines near the intersection of Lynncrest and Crown Point, when a man approached them with a firearm, authorities said. The suspect stole two of the men's wallets at gunpoint, according to authorities. Police said the suspect then directed a third man to hand over items located inside the work truck. The third man then retrieved a handgun stored inside the work truck, and fearing for his life, shot the suspect one time in the chest, authorities said. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. The St. Louis County Police Department is investigating the case as self-defense. |
