Robber Chased, Cornered and Killed

Ray Matjasic

Cleveland Plain Dealer

Photographer says, 'During a robbery on Cleveland's west side...I joined in the chase, running through back yards, leaping fences for several streets until one robber was trapped and cornered on a porch. He said he would not be taken alive and held his automatic to his neck threatening to shoot himself rather than go to jail. He shot himself and died the next day.'
