Armed Robber Shot, Killed Inside Store

Police Unsure Who Shot Robber

POSTED: 3:35 pm MDT July 6, 2009

Aurora police are investigating an armed robbery that ended with the suspected robber shot and killed.

The suspect, who has not been identified, fled the store in a vehicle driven by a woman, said Aurora police Detective Bob Friel.

He was dropped off at a Denver hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Friel said.

It's still unclear who shot the man -- whether it was the store clerk or someone else in the store.

The armed robbery occurred at about 1 p.m. inside a small market at Colfax Avenue and Clinton Street.

Detectives are working with the Crime Scene Investigation Unit to collect evidence, interview witnesses and obtain a search warrant for the business where the shooting occurred.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call MCU Detective Thomas Sobieski at (303) 739-6710.
