SAN ANGELO, Texas — A man armed with a handgun attempting to rob a San Angelo jewelry store was shot and killed by a store employee on Wednesday, police said.

Gunshots were reported at Cano's Jewelry, 2705 Sherwood Way, about 1 p.m., said Lt. David Howard, a San Angelo Police Department public affairs spokesman.

"Police responded to the scene and found the individual deceased inside the store," Howard said. "It appears it was an armed robbery gone wrong."

Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Fred Buck said the man looked to be a "youngish" Hispanic male.

"There's been a lot of robberies," Ontiveros said, mentioning a recent widely publicized diamond theft at another San Angelo jeweler as an example. It was the security camera image of a Hispanic man broadcast from that theft earlier this month that popped in her head when she learned of Wednesday's shooting, she said.

Probably the same guy who had decided to specialize in jewelry store robberies. He has taken the permanent early retirement option of his career as a violent felon.

only wanted to buy accessories for his gun and the clerk should be prosecuted for shooting the poor man:sarcasm:
