There is no reason in the world that 15-year-old kids should have access to guns.
We have 15-year-old boys out trying to rob and carjack, which says a lot about our country. Robinson is lucky; he should have just given up the car. It is insured, and he wouldn’t have put his life at risk, but possibly in his mind, he felt his life was in imminent danger if he didn’t handle the threat right then and there.
He is fortunate the second teen had terrible aim.
D.C. police are seeking two teen boys as young as 15 years old after an attempted robbery that left Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. shot and wounded Sunday on H Street NE.
Robinson was shot twice after he was able to wrestle a gun away from one teen and then was shot by the second teen, Chief of Police Robert Contee told reporters Monday morning. The search for the two teen suspects is ongoing.
“What has been reported to us is that they may be between 15 and 17 years of age,” Contee said.
Robinson, 23, had just exited a location in the 1000 block of H Street NE at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday when the two armed teens approached him and tried to rob him, the police chief said.
“Our victim in this case began to struggle with one of the suspects, was able to actually wrestle a firearm away from one of the suspects, and he was shot twice by the second suspect,” he said.
Robinson was rushed to a hospital with gunshot wounds to the knee and hip.
The teens ran from the area — a busy strip with several restaurants — and jumped into a car, which Contee said had been stolen two days earlier. D.C. police believe they found that car in Prince George’s County, in cooperation with county police.
The teens had tried to take Robinson’s Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, police said Sunday. The white luxury vehicle could be seen still parked on H Street later Sunday.
The good news is if you are going to get shot, one of the best places is in your glute because nothing but fatty meat back there.
