Neighbor Fatally Shoots Donut Store Robber

Police said a man who tried to rob a donut store was shot and killed by a man who lives near the store Friday morning.

The robber broke into the store in the 100 block of Roberts Cut Off Road in West Fort Worth and terrorized the woman who was working there, police said.

Police said the woman, Angel Randle, ran out the back door screaming for help.The neighbor heard the pleas, grabbed his shotgun and then fatally shot the robber, police said.

“This is the second time this month she’s been robbed,” witness Raymon Farrell said. “And, God bless her soul, she’s still alive.”A River Oaks officer was passing by the scene and witnessed the shooting.

Investigators said they questioned the neighbor, but don’t expect to arrest him."

Arrest him? For saving a donut store?

He's damned lucky the police didn't get to him first! Two things you don't screw with a cop over. His God-given right to go home safely each and every night... and donuts.
