GUN-CARRYING MAN FOILS TENDERLOIN ROBBERY 06/27/06 5:15 PDT SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
Police are searching for a would-be victim who fought back against three armed robbers with his own gun early this morning in the Tenderloin neighborhood, according to San Francisco police Lt. John Loftus.
The three men, one armed with a shotgun, approached a man and a woman on the corner of Leavenworth and Turk streets around 4 a.m. and held them up. Instead of complying, however, the man pulled out a gun of his own and shot all three assailants.
Loftus said the man was acting in self defense, and though he is currently being sought for questioning, police are treating him as the victim in the incident.
The three men, who all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, were arrested shortly afterward. Only minutes before, another attempted robbery was reported in the same area, with the same three men listed as suspects, Loftus said.
The victim in the earlier robbery fended the suspects off with a flashlight before he realized one of the men was holding a shotgun.
"I guess the first guy didn't realize it was a gun," Loftus said.
When the suspects stepped back, however, the victim saw that one of the men was holding a gun so he ran off, escaping without any of his property stolen.
There were no other reports of injuries in the incident. Police did not immediately release the names of anyone involved.
