Man Accidentally Shoots Himself while Robbing a "Would-Be" Robber

Turn about:
	Roland Scott, while staring down a shotgun in West Baltimore, decided to fight back. Scott, brandishing a fake replica handgun, wrestled the shotgun away from the would be robber. Then while standing in the middle of Laurens Street, ordered the robber to strip. Scott then relieved him of $800, demanded a cell phone and more money.  Then began to beat him with the same shotgun he just took off the "robber." In the ensuing "pistol whipping" with the shotgun, the shotgun accidentally discharged, hitting Scott in the stomach and killing him. The "robber" then fled and was later arrested at the hospital. Charges of murder were not filed after a witness corroborated the events but it remains undetermined if the "robber" will face charges for armed robbery.  As an aside, the "robber" said he needed money for "his rent and for pharmacy school."  Who teaches this class, another "street pharmacist?"  Is that why he needed to be packing a shotgun at 0400 hours?
