“Even though he was unarmed, the shop owner, identified by neighbors as Youssouf Drame, 35, wrested a gun away from one of the men and fatally shot two of them. The police say that two other suspects — it’s unclear whether they entered the store — are at large. Mr. Drame, the owner of the variety store at 1051 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, was also shot multiple times during the struggle and remained in critical condition at Kings County Hospital Center on Tuesday, the police said. … Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the Police Department, said, ‘Normally we advise people to try to get out of harm’s way, but that is not always possible.’ He added that it is unusual for a victim to disarm an attacker.” (11/18/08) Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/nyregion/19robbery.html Filed under: 2AM News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
