Robbery victim kills intruder
The victim of a robbery in Queens fatally shot one of the three intruders early Tuesday morning with a gun they left behind, police said.
A man and his girlfriend were returning to their Middle Village apartment about 4:50 a.m. when they were confronted by three men, police said.
According to the victim, the men forced the couple into the apartment, where they tied them up with plans to rob the place, cops said.
Somehow, the victim was able to get loose and grab a gun one of the suspects had left unattended, he told police. He shot one of his attackers in the head, killing him.
The other two fled.
No arrests had been made last night.
Police continued to question the victim, who neighbors said kept odd hours and was unfriendly.
"We didn't think they belonged in a neighborhood like this," said one neighbor in the family friendly area. "No one ever said hello or goodbye to them, and we preferred it that way."
