INDIANAPOLIS -- A grocery store employee shot and killed a robber who pointed a gun at a woman with a baby, police said.
Police responded to a holdup alarm just after 8 p.m. Sunday night at Tienda Suarez at 6240 W. 34th St., said Sgt. Matthew Mount.
When officers arrived, they found the suspect shot and critically injured. He was transported to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses told police the man had ordered customers into one part of the grocery store, and then pointed a gun at a woman with a baby. That's when a store employee shot the suspect.
Mount said the shooting appeared to be justified. Police will turn over the results of their investigation to the Marion County Prosecutor's office, which will determine if any charges should be filed.
The suspect's name had not been released.
