Bullet bounces off
robbery victim’s face
and shoots mugger
dead .... A 16-year-old mugger has been killed after a bullet
fired by an accomplice ricocheted off their victim’s
face and shot him dead. The incident happened when a group of males
accosted the man at a housing complex in San
Francisco and demanded he hand over his
possessions, police said. The man complied, but as the muggers were taking
his valuables, including a mobile phone, one of
them pulled a handgun and shot at him. The bullet struck his face, bounced off, then hit
one of the other robbers, 16-year-old Clifton
Chatman. When police arrived on the scene, Chatman was
pronounced dead and the muggers’ victim was
taken to hospital with serious injuries. He is
expected to survive. The other suspects fled following the shooting,
which happened at around 11pm on 14 December. A second 16-year-old has now been arrested on
suspicion of murder and attempted robbery. Police
did not say whether they believe he was the one
who pulled the trigger. The remaining members of the group involved in
the crime are being searched for by investigators.
