Two victims of an attempted armed robbery in Glendale were being sought Monday — after one of them fatally shot the would-be robber.
Officers responded to the 200 block of East Dryden Street around 10:40 p.m. Sunday and found a man lying in the middle of the road with a single gunshot wound, according to the Glendale Police Department. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police, investigators determined that the dead man — who was carrying a loaded weapon — had approached two people in a white SUV and tried to rob them. Police said the driver of the SUV apparently shot the man, then drove away.
“The shooter and his passenger fled the scene in their white colored SUV prior to being contacted by police. The Glendale Police Department is currently attempting to locate the outstanding individuals,” police said in a statement.
The man who died was not immediately identified.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting was urged to contact the Glendale Police Robbery/Homicide detectives at 818-548-3987 or the police department at 818-549-4911.
