| 2010-05-14 |
| A 20-year-old man was arrested Wednesday and two others are facing charges in connection with a robbery that led to a deadly shootout Tuesday night at a north-side auto store, police said. Carlos Peyron is facing charges of first-degree murder, attempted aggravated robbery, attempted armed robbery and kidnapping after he and three other men attempted to rob M&M Customs, which sells and installs car alarms, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman. One of the suspects, Noah Lopez, 18, was shot to death by an employee during the robbery. Two other men, Toney Stith, 26, and Anthony Peyron, 19, were wounded in the shootout and will face charges once they are released from the hospital, Pacheco said. All of the men are gang members, he said. According to police, four men went into the business, at 3040 N. Stone Ave., and confronted an employee, forcing him into the back office. The business owner, who was in the office, pulled out a shotgun and fired, wounding Anthony Peyron. The suspects attempted to flee but encountered a locked door. Lopez turned to the business owner and shot him in the forearm. The employee retrieved a handgun from his tool kit and fatally shot Lopez, who turned his gun on the employee. Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene. Stith was wounded in the lower extremities, while Carlos Peyron was hit in the back of the head with the stock of the shotgun. The victims held the suspects at gunpoint until police officers arrived two minutes after the shooting was reported. |

| #5 Another way around the problem, if you want a LOT of police there, and in a hurry, is to make a "gang rape in progress" call. Cops will be pedal to the metal across the town, and arrive with a bad attitude. The one thing you don't want to be doing at ground zero is to be carrying a gun. Anybody who is, and not in uniform, is likely to get shot. |

| #3 You don't have to go to Brittan for that. when i lived in Pueblo, CO (where they would sick the hose if they were giving the state an enema) we were having a gang related territorial dispute on my block. 3 nights in a row, shots fired. average response time for PD:45 minutes. 4th night, i called dispatch "since the PD has shown they are unable or unwilling to provide for public saftey, i will open fire on the gang-bangers who are shooting in the park across the street in 10 minutes. i can assure i will hit my mark." sirens in less than 30 seconds. i had a nice discussion with the shift captain, and gang task force on street talking to hoodlums the next day. night after that they began playing 2 blocks over. |

| #1 "911, what's your emergency?" "We're being robbed!" "*Yawn* we're too busy, we'll send someone to take a report for your insurance company in a few hours." *click* "911, what's your emergency?" "You can cancel that call about the robbery, we shot him." "We'll have twenty cops there in two minutes!" "I thought you said you were busy?" |
