Employee Shoots 2 During Robbery Attempt in Round Lake Beach; Police Search for Pair Who Fled Scene
Police are searching for a driver and front passenger who were in the vehicle that was later found with the two wounded suspects inside

An employee held at gunpoint during an armed robbery attempt in Round Lake Beach shot two suspects before they fled the scene in a waiting vehicle, prompting a search for the driver and a passenger who managed to escape from police, authorities said.

The shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Fairfield Road, according to the Round Lake Beach Police Department.

There, authorities say a man and a woman ordered employees of a business behind the counter and held them at gunpoint.

“At one point during the incident, one of the employees was able to access a firearm and shot several rounds at the suspects, striking both suspects,” police said in a release.

The man and woman fled the store and got into a waiting vehicle, which then drove down a dead-end street. The driver and a front passenger ran away, leaving the injured pair behind, police said.

Welp 2 WRT FIRST (ht 2 Hack Stone) Thing of a Hump Day Morning ain’t too shabby. They’ll rat out their buddies and their is always a chance of a nice little sepsis type infection. Hope springs eternal.

Kool linky on the Rocket Pieces. Only saw 1 in passing waaaaaay back yonder. Betcha if his most Saintly JMB (Hbhn) was around today, he’d work the bugs out of it.

Read a few historical stories on the Gyrojet guns, and saw a Youtube video. Cool attempt, but in the end, not consistent and repeatable so pass!

On the story, sucks when your “friends” abandon you! Guess they will eventually be found and find that crime does not pay, as the two robbers found. Great job by the employee, wonder if he will get Employee of the month, or a pink slip?

Wasn’t that gyrogun used in a Bond movie?

But as was said in the linkie, too slow, too expensive. Ah, well, someone had to try it to find all the bugs.
