CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (FOX 2) – An armed robbery ended in a fatal shooting – but it was the suspect who became the victim on Thursday, Clinton Township police say.The backstory:
At 12:45 p.m. male suspect armed with a firearm allegedly demanded cash inside Golden Donuts, 34155 Harper Avenue. The employee then pulled out a handgun and shot the robbery suspect.Police say the suspect, in his mid-30s, fled in a vehicle and was found inside his crashed SUV at the Sunoco gas station at 15 Mile and Harper. He was transported by ambulance where he died at the hospital.
“He was fully cooperative,” said Capt. Brandon Blake, Clinton Township police. “We did an interview with them and we released them from the station, pending further investigation we do believe this to be self-defense.
“Any loss of life is tragic, I’m sure this gentleman had a family to some degree, and the unfortunate part is he lost his life committing a crime that quite frankly put somebody else’s life into jeopardy.”

Let’s all squeak out a tear for the dear departed thug, Cap. Thanks again to our own Gun Bunny for today’s links.
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
