Cincinnati’s CBS affliate, WKRC, is reporting that “a neighborhood beaten down by crime in the last two weeks is cheering one of its own for fighting back.”
From the story:
Three masked men tried to rob a man on Rosemont Avenue in West Price Hill Monday night. But the trio didn’t know their victim had a concealed carry permit- and was prepared to shoot.
Troy Hammond and Tremaine Hughes are charged with aggravated armed robbery. Officers say they were both shot at during the incident — but they are not the real victims.
Police say Hammond, Hughes, and another man jumped the victim, whose name has not been released. The victim has a concealed carry permit — and fired a shot, hitting one suspect. That suspect is still in the hospital.
