THE FIRST DARWIN AWARD NOMINEE:

Probable Darwin winner! If this is true he had to be one of the DUMBEST
criminals ever.

The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington USA
appeared to be the robber's first (and last), due to his lack of a
previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:

1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms, a gun shop specializing in
handguns.

2. The shop was full of customers --firearms customers.

3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police
patrol car parked at the front door.

4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before
work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and
fired a few wild shots from a .22 target pistol. The officer and a clerk
promptly returned fire, the police officer with a 9 mm Glock 17, the clerk
with a .50 Desert Eagle, assisted by several customers who also drew their
guns, several of whom also fired.

The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene
investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The
subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified
bullets from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt in the exchange of
fire.

Here we are at the beginning of March and we already may have the 2005
winner of the Darwin Award. This guy is going to be hard to beat.

Leather & Firearms! Dette hørtes ut som en meeeget spesialisert butikk.

I følge denne siden er historien delvis sann:

http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_gun_shop_shootout.htm



Comments: This is a highly embellished account of a real-life incident that
occurred in Renton, Washington on February 3, 1990. According to a series of
reports published in the Seattle Times, what actually happened is this:
Thirty-three-year-old David Zaback entered H&J Leather & Firearms Ltd. at
approximately 4:40 in the afternoon brandishing a .38-caliber semiautomatic
handgun and announced his intention to rob the store. He threatened to shoot
anyone who got in his way.

Having apparently failed to notice the police car parked in front of the gun
shop when he walked in (true!), Zaback found himself confronted by a
uniformed officer and an armed clerk, who ordered him to drop his gun.
Zaback opened fire instead, drawing a fatal volley of shots from the clerk
and the policeman, both of whom survived the shootout unharmed.

According to the county medical examiner, Zaback was shot a total of four
times (not 23) and died a few hours later in the emergency room. "Several"
armed patrons also drew weapons, the Times confirms, but none actually fired
on Zaback, contrary to the version of events given in the email. It was
later determined that the clerk, whose weapon was a 10mm semiautomatic
pistol (not a .50 Desert Eagle), fired the fatal shot.
