Poetic Justice!
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
The peace and quiet of a West Baltimore neighborhood was shattered Friday January 17, 2003 at approximately 1645Hrs. A black/male 22years old approached a group of men in the 500 block of North Warwick Street, produced a stolen .22 caliber target pistol and pointed at the unsuspecting young men and said "Where's the shit? Kick it out!". The young men new it was a robbery, and they gave the robber 100.00 US currencies in various denominations. The Robber was satisfied with the loot and turned to walk away from the group. As the Robber was walking away from the group he went to put the Ruger target pistol into his dip area (Waistband) the Robber discharged the pistol into his groin. A patrol Officer hearing the shot and being less than a block away approached the group of robbery victims and they quickly pointed out the wounded Robber. The Robbery not wanting to be detained, left the Target pistol on the lift gate of a truck near his car and attempted to drive away.
Other Patrol Officers arrived and boxed the suspect in, using their police cars. An ambulance, mobile crime lab, and detectives were called to investigate. The Firearm recovered was a Ruger .22 caliber Semi-automatic handgun with
a hair trigger, with six rounds in the magazine a one empty shell casing in the ejection port. The Robber was taken into custody and transported to University of Maryland Shock Trauma where he was treated for a self-inflicted wound to the Penis.
Doctors at University of Maryland stated the Robber is in good condition, but will be in need of specialized surgery before he is able to reproduce.
