This one takes place in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twincities.com\/crime\/ci_24557146\/st-paul-robbery-suspect-shot-by-victim-charges\">Minnesota<\/a> where two bouncers stopped to cash their checks after work one night and encountered two enterprising youths in the parking lot;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>VT, who is 31, saw two males approaching them as he walked to the passenger side of the car and heard the sound of a gun racking a round. A man in a baseball cap, later identified as Galloway, pointed a gun at VT and told him not to move. VT told TG, who is 26, not to move because he feared they would be shot if they did.<\/p>\n<p>When VT looked again, the man with Galloway had the handgun and approached TG on the driver&#8217;s side. The robber, wearing a stocking cap, went into the car and robbed TG of the $160 he&#8217;d just received from cashing his check.<\/p>\n<p>While TG was being robbed, VT &#8220;surreptitiously removed his wallet from his pocket and slid it between the passenger seat and the door jamb,&#8221; the complaint said. The man with the stocking cap then pointed the gun at VT and demanded money.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;VT told the men he didn&#8217;t carry money because he bounces in a bar,&#8221; the complaint said. Galloway searched his pockets. Finding nothing, the other robber &#8220;gave VT a look of disgust and disbelief&#8221; and the two robbers backed away from the car, the complaint said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;VT was afraid that he and TG were going to be shot&#8221; and reached under the passenger seat to grab his Sig Sauer P250 .45-caliber handgun, which he has a permit to carry, the complaint said. &#8220;VT feared the two men didn&#8217;t believe him when he said he didn&#8217;t have any money, and he was afraid they might come back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The robbers crossed into a Dairy Queen parking lot and the man in the stocking cap raised his handgun and pointed it toward TG and VT.<\/p>\n<p>VT then fired at the robbers, the complaint said, and the man in the stocking cap simultaneously fired once in VT&#8217;s direction. VT fired five times and his second shot struck Galloway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, Mr. Galloway had only been wounded in the leg, but he&#8217;s been scooped up by the local constabulary which had to use dogs to find him. Remember when you&#8217;re shooting longer distances, shoot higher than you normally would, otherwise it&#8217;s a gamble whether you&#8217;re going to hit their scrawny legs and you may end up wasting precious ammo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us our morning feel good story today.
