Would-Be Robber Flees After Storeowner Shoots ATM
Police: Storeowner Won't Be Charged
A storeowner will not be charged after he fired his gun during an armed robbery attempt at his Framingham store, police said.
Armand Tavares, the owner of the A&J Variety Store at the corner of Kendall and Frederick streets, told police that a black man with a Luger-type pistol entered the store Monday at about 9:30 p.m.
The robber, who was wearing a hood pulled tight to cover his face, pointed the gun at Tavares and demanded money, police said.
Tavares, who is licensed to carry a gun, pulled out his .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun and fired, hitting the ATM in the store. The startled robber ran out of the store unharmed and without any cash, police said.
Framingham police said Tavares will not be charged in connection with the incident.
