Birmingham armed robbery victim shoots suspect as he tried to get away with cash - AL.com
As is protocol when a person is admitted to a Birmingham emergency room with a gunshot wound, officers were called to the hospital when the man showed up, Birmingham Police Department Lt. Paul Irwin said. Witnesses at the hospital stated the man was dropped off by another man in a gold Chevrolet Cavalier, and Birmingham police began searching the area for the car and the man who dropped the shooting victim off at the hospital. (about 10 minutes before the shooting victim was dropped off at the hospital), the two suspects approached a house on the 900 block of 21st Street Southwest and asked the owners if they could borrow money, Irwin said. When one of the robbery victims pulled out a wallet, the suspects pulled guns and demanded the victims hand over all their cash. Once the victims had given the suspects their money, one began shooting at the suspects' gold 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier as they drove away. "Officers from the west precinct did an outstanding job locating the suspects of this robbery and linking the crimes together," Birmingham Police Department Lt. Paul Irwin said. Source: www.al.com
