FORT WORTH -- A robbery suspect entered an west-side donut shop early Friday armed with a BB rifle, but a good Samaritan who came to help a shop employee had a shotgun.
Conclusion: the robbery suspect died from a blast of 12-gauge buckshot to the chest, police said.
The incident was reported about 2 a.m. at the Happy Donuts shop, 109 Roberts Cut Off Road, said Lt. Paul Henderson, police spokesman.
The suspect was Richard Lane, 45, of Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
"What I understand," Henderson said, "is this particular suspect was known in the area for possibly other criminal activity -- other robberies, other burglaries."
The neighbor who shot the man was not arrested.
