Off-duty Pitt County, NC deputy shoots man trying to rob him at an ATM.
Sheriff Mac Manning said:
“I was at the same ATM probably the night before. We live in a civil society, where citizens shouldn't have to worry about robbers approaching them at any time of day or night,” he said.
“The fault lies with the deceased, who instigated the incident. We want our citizens to be safe. We need to rid the streets of people like this who want to prey on innocent citizens,” the sheriff said.
I highlighted in bold some of the Sheriff's statements. The deputy was off-duty and not in uniform. It is unclear if he used his service weapon or not.
