Store owner shoots and kills armed robber, gets two-for-one deal!
Store owner shoots and kills armed robber, gets two-for-one deal when DNA tests prove robber was also serial rapist who terrorized community for two months
Slain Robbery Suspect Linked to Rapes
January 5, 2005 — A man who was killed while attempting to rob a store last week was the man who raped three women in Camden over the last two months of 2004, authorities said Wednesday.
Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi said the state police DNA lab confirmed that Antonio Diaz Reyes, 32, was the rapist.
Three women were raped in the relatively safe downtown Camden area in November and December. Authorities said they were unable to figure out who had committed the brazen daylight attacks.
Reyes' death was captured on a store surveillance video. Authorities said he entered the Camden City Wireless and Fishing Supply store in East Camden on Friday afternoon and held the store owner's wife at knifepoint.
Store owner Ngoc Le, 28, saw what was happening, grabbed his gun, which was legally registered, and told Reyes he would let him live if he released his wife. Reyes then threatened to kill her and Le fired once, hitting Reyes in the head. Reyes died at the scene.
Authorities were uncertain whether he was the rapist until the DNA test results became available Wednesday.

hell of a risky shot. 6 inches off and he could have hit his wife.
That shows he trusted his aim. I commend the man. And his wife probably trusted her husbands decision. He won't be sued, jury of his peers will exonerate him if the DA even want's to press charges.
DA won't press charges it would create a media uproar. Hero who solves case of 3 rape victims and saves wife get's charged with murder. I can see the headline's already.

Or he was aiming for his wife, and this robber was someone he hired so that he could say in an attempt to stop the robber he killed his wife....and then after he would have killed the robber.
see, this country is filled with pussies.
if that man is arrested for shooting him, as he would be in ny or cali, not that he could HAVE a gun to begin with....
the People, 50k of them, should go down to the jail, and demand his release...then take him by force if it were refused.
