Jogger shoots man who pulls knife on him
Jogger shoots
man who pulls knife on him
Tucson, Arizona
May 30, 2000
A jogger armed with a semiautomatic pistol shot and seriously wounded one of
two men who apparently attempted to rob him with a knife Sunday night, said Sgt.
Marco Borboa, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
The injured man, who was not identified by police because he has not been
arrested, was taken to Tucson Medical Center where he was in serious condition.
TMC would not release any information about the man yesterday.
A 31-year-old man was jogging in a residential area northwest of East
Speedway and North Wilmot Road when two men - one armed with a knife - attempted
to rob him, Borboa said. The TPD investigation determined that the jogger fired
at the armed man and held the two at gunpoint near East Bellevue Street and
North Rook Avenue.
"We have no evidence at this time that would lead us to
believe
that there is any misconduct on (the shooter's) part,"
Borboa
said, adding that the investigation is not complete.
The man has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The suspected robber who
was not injured, Eduardo R. Reyna, 24, of Tucson, was arrested on charges of
aggravated robbery, armed robbery and aggravated assault. He is currently being
held in Pima County Jail on $5,000 bail.
