Taken from Snopes,


Darwin Award

We have a winner...!

The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington 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 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 <NOBR>hold-up,</NOBR> and fired a few wild shots from a <NOBR>.22 target</NOBR> pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, the police officer with a 9mm <NOBR>Glock 17,</NOBR> the clerk with a <NOBR>.50 Desert</NOBR> 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 <NOBR>47 expended</NOBR> cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed <NOBR>23 gunshot</NOBR> wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from <NOBR>7 different</NOBR> weapons.

No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire.

Looks like the gunshop patrons were not concerned about running out of ammo.Any guess on which bullit delivered the fatal blow?If it was the first shot the rest must have been for sport.:rolleyes:

I'm not sure I would call 23 hits out of at least 47 shots being fired "gun control". They're lucky somebody else wasn't killed. :run:

Sounds to me like an armed lunatic committed suicide. Atleast no one else went with it.

The less tahn 50% hit ratio is due to the fact that the Desert Eagle was one of the first hits, thus leaving a HUGE hole in the 'perp'.....
many of the following shots passed through this hole....the stupid loser was apparently SWISS.......

Actually thats not a bad hit ratio considering only paper targets stand still.

First clue to leave would've been the police cruiser parked in front. After that he got what he "asked" for... what a dumba55
