ROBBERS FLEE AFTER GUN FALLS APART
The Record
December 2, 2013
STOCKTON - An armed robber's dramatic exit from a Saturday-night heist fizzled when his handgun fell apart in his hand as he tried to fire a parting shot into the ceiling of the business he just robbed, police reported.
The suspect had successfully fired the small handgun into a display cabinet at the business, according to a robbery report from the Stockton Police Department. But the attempt at the second shot left gun parts and live rounds scattered on the floor as the robber fled from the business with an accomplice.
He had entered the business in the 1200 block of East Hammer Lane around 7:22 p.m., armed with a small handgun he pointed at customers in the business and a 23-year-old clerk, according to police. The second suspect then grabbed money from the register before they made their escape, firing into the display cabinet and attempting to fire again into the ceiling.
The suspect with the handgun is described as black, 18 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 150 pounds and wearing black pants and a grey, hooded sweatshirt with black trim. He also had a dark shirt over his head. The second suspect is described as black, 18 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 130 pounds and wearing all black, with a hood partially covering his face.
