Damn shame, sounds like the wrong guy died.
Condolences to his family. Gutsy move, but it sounds as though just reacted without thinking. I wonder if there is more to the story?While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Re: Man Killed During South Strabane Bank Robbery
Probably unwise to chase a bank robber that is armed with a gun. However, reading these many stories I'm beginning to think the prudent move in the presence of police , for whatever reason, is to lie on the ground and be still.
I hope more details are released.

God damnit. Thoughts going out to his family.
Others have already said it - he was the right guy in the right place, but it doesn't sound like he thought out his actions very thoroughly at all. The stress of the situation probably didn't help him, either.Junior

Banks have a policy to prohibit this sort of death, which the general population should follow unless their life or others are in danger.
Allow the criminal to flee, the money is covered by insurance and it's NOT worth risking your life.
Again, banks have a policy to give the person what they want and let the criminal leave. DO NOT GO AFTER HIM! COMMON SENSE!
