Cabdriver charged with shooting alleged robber
XXXXXX, XXXXXXX admits disarming the safety on his gun and firing at the man who allegedly robbed him at knifepoint, but he never meant to shoot anyone, according to a police report.
As a result of his actions, the 42-year-old taxi driver, who friends say is an immigrant success story with an even temper, was transformed from a victim to a perpetrator of a violent crime, authorities said.
Police reports said XXXXX admitted to detectives that he fired at the alleged robber as he ran away from him, but that he insisted he never meant to hit him. "He only meant to scare him and did not think he hit him, since when he shot the gun off he was aiming high,"
So, should the hard working law abiding cabbie be charged? would you find him guily or would you let him off because he was the victim of a violent robbery himself?
