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.

Try calling #191.

Enjoy the ride!

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?

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?
