* Subj : Customer shoots would be bank robber in Miami
========================================================================
When a tourist is shot in Florida, the world hears about it.  When
a crook is shot, the national media ignores it.
A man attempted to rob a bank in NW Miami Friday.  The would be thief
became aggitated after several minutes went by and he brandished
a firearm.  He threatened the teller and the customer standing behind
him.  At this point the customer feared for his life, pulled his gun and
shot the would be robber in the head.
This citizen did everything BY THE BOOK!  He did not use lethal force
until the situation called for it.  The Metro-Dade police officer who
the TV station interviewed commended this citizen for his actions!
