| A man was being robbed at gunpoint when he pulled out his own gun and shot one of the suspects. It all happened early Thursday near 1st and Clarke. The 23-year-old Milwaukee man was in the area when two teenagers pulled out a gun and tried to rob him. That victim also had a gun. He shot and killed one suspect, 17-year-old Kevin Ollie. Ollie's gun also went off, and he accidentally shot the other teen robber. The robbery victim's family says he had no choice but to fight back. That robbery victim has never been convicted of a crime and is not in custody. The 19-year-old surviving robber is behind bars. The DA is deciding whether he will face felony murder charges for his role in the botched robbery. The robbery victim's family hopes that happens. The robbery victim was not hurt during the ordeal. Friday detectives brought him to a line up to identify the robbery suspect. "That's him! The one with the hole in him!" A decision on charges against the 19-year-old surviving robber should come Monday. |

| #6 So, Mullah, though the robbery victim is not currently in custody, he will likely be successfully prosecuted as a firearms law violator, which should give the robbers & their families solid footing for a civil lawsuit. |

| #5 P.S. - Wisconsinites can 'open carry' but one would probably be stopped for doing so (public nuisance or some such charge) in downtown Milwaukee where this incident took place. |

| #4 In Wisconsin, only police officers and sheriffs' deputies can 'conceal carry' for protection. We're trying to change that. |

| #3 Did the robbery victim have a concealed carry permit? |

| #2 Any death occurring in the commission of a felony (armed robbery) is considered felony murder. |

| #1 I hope the NRA sends their attorney to help the man that is truely the victim. He will need a good attorney for the civil suit. |
