Robber shot by an armoured car guard

I just heard on the scanner an incident in the east end of Montreal where I believe an armoured car guard has shot someone who was trying to hold him up. This is a very rare occurance here. I will be listening to the news to see exactly what happened.

An unarmed male jumped 2 female armoured car agents. They fired 4 shots. He was hit in the stomach & leg. He pleaded not guilty to robbery from his hospital bed. The guards work for Sececor.

Hopefully the two guards wil be cleared and this will deemed a good shoot.

Too bad there wasn't any more than what you said....

Thanks again.

I hope this does not come off sounding sexist: When I took Police Technology in the early 1970's women were just entering the police forces. My hotel was one of the first to hire women security officers. I personally have hired women & presently have them working for me. All this being said, I do not agree with 2 women working together as police officers or security guards. I have witnessed incidents where, in my opinion, excessive force was used to subdue a suspect because the 2 officers were female. I think they are forced to use a higher level of force to defend themselves. I hope this is not the case in this incident.

I've read more in the Montreal Gazette. The guy was not shot in the stomach - it was just a little LOWER - OUCH! (Put ti this way if he joins the prison choir he can be singing the high notes!!)

Aww too bad so sad, I'm sure he was a great baritone....

I wonder what the training standards are for our canadian counterparts....
I'd really like to know....

Anyhow, glad to hear my two sisters didn't break rule #1, and will get to spend the holidays with their families.

I find it interesting, and somewhat offensive, that the CBC article refered to the robber as "victim".
I hope the two officers are cleared.

Welcome to the world according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Paid for by taxpayer dollars and very few private companies via ads. Proudly home to Hockey Night in Canada though.
The tree & thug hugging mentality is apparent.
