Robber killed in gun battle with police
2008-07-14
A suspected robber was killed in a gun battle between police and his henchmen at Kundarpara village in Narsingdi's Shibpur upazila early yesterday.
No idea where that is.
The dead was identified as Hainf Mia, 48. Three police and four robbers were injured in the shootout.
This is a 'shootout', not a crossfire ...
Police said they surrounded a band of robbers on information that the thugs were preparing themselves for robbery at the village at about 3:00am.
Was this a Saoodi-style surrounding ...
Sensing danger, ...
Spider-sense tingling and all ...
... the robbers opened fire on the law enforcers, ensuing an hour-long gun battle ...
Local cops have no sense of style like the RAB ...
... during which Hainf died from bullet wounds on the spot.
Which spot?
THAT spot!
Of the injured, SI Aziz and robber Sohrab were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition.
Whoa. An accomplice was actually there?
The other injured, including Officer-in-Charge at Shibpur Police Station Abdul Mannan and SI Ali Nur, were admitted to the local health complex.

Police recovered one pipe gun and six sharp weapons from the spot.
Clearly they haven't heard about the British efforts to ban knives ...

#4  The shuttergun is unknowable. Wave & particle, Firelock & Glock.

#3  *shakes head* Nope, not the shutter gun. These are the police, faint and fawning imitators of the unimitable RAB. They are as children, pressing wet noses against the glass case at RAB headquarters, staring with longing at The Shuttergun, nestled in a blanket of velvet cloth, glistening, a prize unobtainable except by the true Elite.

Stand in awe, and despair!
