Chief Tango sends us another feel good story for this morning, this time it’s from Phoenix<\/a> where a good guy with a gun stopped a bank robber, cold;<\/p>\n

The suspects robbed the Desert Schools Federal Credit Union at Cactus and Tatum about 2:15 p.m., then tried to get away, according to Phoenix police.<\/p>\n

But the bank robbers, with covered faces and carrying handguns, didn’t get far.<\/p>\n

Authorities said that a good Samaritan exchanged gunfire with the two bank robbers, identified as 21-year-old Vincent Robert Jones and 29-year-old Lyndell Cherry.<\/p>\n

Police said the good Samaritan was in the bank and saw the suspects’ vehicle running in front of the bank, so he went outside and took the keys out.<\/p>\n

When the suspects realized the keys were gone, they robbed a couple in a truck at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

The good Samaritan was armed with a handgun and tried to help the couple being robbed. Cherry allegedly pointed a handgun at the good Samaritan who then fired his gun, striking Cherry.<\/p>\n

“I heard a pop,” a nearby witness said. “That’s when multiple shots went off. I got behind the beam right there just to be safe and get out of the way.”<\/p>\n

Cherry was taken to a nearby hospital where he died of his injuries.<\/p>\n

Jones took off in the stolen vehicle, running a red light, before crashing at 44th Street and Thunderbird. Jones tried to run from the collision, but was quickly taken into custody by responding patrol officers, according to the police report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
