Two would-be robbers in San Antonio, Texas, quickly discovered they targeted the wrong man when their victim pulled out his own legally carried firearm and put an abrupt end to their nefarious plans.
Authorities in San Antonio told the media on Friday that a man using an ATM at a Chase Bank on the outskirts of the downtown area was confronted by the two men at about 1 p.m. that day, Fox News reported.
The targeted ATM user was parked next to a drive-up machine when two men skidded to a stop in front of him, jumped out of their car, and demanded his money.
The intended victim, though, proved not to be a victim at all as he drew his own firearm and quickly responded to the threat.
“It was a robbery that didn’t go well for the robbers,” San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus told the media in a video statement.
The man, whose name has been withheld, fired at the attackers and killed them both.
The two dead men were both in their 20s, the chief added.
“They’re going to interview him further,” McManus said of the intended victim. “Right now, we’re looking at him as the victim of a robbery who was acting in self-defense.”
