The owner of a hardware store shot dead two criminals who wanted to attack him in his business. According to investigations, the motochorros arrived on the spot, but were surprised by the owner when he warned they were about to rob him.
The dealer pulled out a 9mm pistol and shot the criminals. One fell dead inside the hardware store and the other tried to escape but died on the sidewalk. The carabinieri found a tumbera weapon with which they would have attempted to carry out the attack.
The robbery took place on Thursday 17 and the investigations suggest that it was a case of legitimate defense. The attorney general of Puebla, Mexico, has begun with the first steps and the bodies remain in the morgue awaiting the results of the autopsies.
