PHUKET: A Phuket City Police officer shot dead a knife-wielding robber in Phuket Town early this morning after the robber attacked the officer, leaving him with a knife wound to his neck.

 

The robber lunged again, forcing the officer to draw his firearm and shoot in self-defence, Deputy Chief of Phuket City Police Lt Col Chana Suthimas told The Phuket News today (Jan 15).

 

Police were notified through the 191 hotline of a robbery in progress in front of a single-level apartment building in Soi Hongleng-U-Thit, off Mae Luan Rd in Phuket Town, at 2:20am, Lt Col Chana explained.

I have done it once, and it worked very fine. You get connected to the local emergency assistance, maybe in Pattaya that is not working very well?

Worked well in Patong when I had an accident. Excellent service by Ambulance and ER.

Rather a misleading title, again.  Why shoot a dead robber?  Or is this another case off using the English language incorrectly as has happened so many times before by "native" speakers, aka writers, and Thais?

Enough said indeed.

Cheeses cries, leave them alone. Shooting a robber dead or shooting a dead robber makes no difference. He's still brown bread.
