Pennsylvania: Men attempt to rob Brinks truck
NBC 10 News
"All of a sudden, there was a shot, she tells everybody to hit the floor, which they did, and I ran over to the counter to see what was going on," said Larry McGhee, a witness to the robbery. "Two black males approached the guard -- one on foot, one on a bike. They both were armed with guns," said Lt. Kevin O'Brien, of the Cheltenham police. Police said that the Brinks armored truck driver fired his gun twice at the two men who he said tried to rob him. Police said that the men didn't use the guns. Instead, the robbers used Mace on the driver of the armored car and grabbed two bags of money. "I saw the Brinks guy pointing his gun down the street, firing. (He) turned and grabbed a bag and threw it up in the truck and then turned again and fired," McGhee said. Police said the robbers dropped the money and jumped into a waiting Jeep. They left behind the bike and the money." (08/24/05)

Chick McGuigan/Bristol Twp. Police: "They exchanged gunfire with the owner. They both fled the store. One of them was wounded and one was not.'" (08/24/05)
