 Miami Township police said a man with a concealed weapon permit fired his gun after he and another man were accosted Saturday morning by three teens on a sidewalk outside the Dayton Mall. Police said one teen had showed a gun. 
 
 Jawaad Jabbar of Middletown died a short time later of a gunshot wound to his torso, authorities said. 
 
 Police said the two groups — the three teens and the two men — didn't know each other, but had all had gone to the mall south of Dayton for Nike Air Jordan sales offered by multiple stores. 
 
 Police Chief Ronald Hess said Tuesday the stores had set up systems to avoid long, tense lines that have led to problems elsewhere when the popular brand has released new versions, and the three Middletown teens apparently missed out. 
 
 Police said the teens were outside on a sidewalk when the two men left the mall carrying newly bought shoes. 
 
 "They did have the boxes from the stores that were having the limited-edition sales," Hess told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Police said Jabbar displayed a gun and demanded their merchandise, then the man with the concealed weapon permit pulled out his gun and shot him. No one else was injured. 
 
 The other two teens remained held in juvenile detention while the investigation continues. Police haven't released the identity of the man who fired the shot, and are still investigating his actions. 
 
 "We'll review the whole case with the county prosecutor, and if they determine he violated some law, then yes (he could be charged)," Hess said. There was no estimate on how long the investigation would take, he said. 
 
 Jabbar's father, Wallace Jabbar, told The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News in a brief telephone call Monday evening that he was "obviously devastated" and has been out of town working. The newspaper said Jabbar's mother declined to comment. 
 
 Jawaad Jabbar was a student and athlete at Middletown High School, which is on holiday break. 
 
 The Nike shoes named for retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan are prized by both athletes and collectors, and entrepreneurs often sell shoes bought for around $200 at double that or more online. 
 
 Police in New Jersey and Louisiana reported armed robberies in recent months involving Air Jordans, and a Springfield, Massachusetts, man was sentenced to up to four years in prison for a shooting that wounded an 11-year-old girl waiting in line at an Air Jordan sale in 2013. 
 
 News media outlets in the Toledo, Ohio, area reported last week that police used pepper spray to disperse crowds gathered for an Air Jordan shoe sale at Franklin Park Mall. 
 
 A spokesman for Nike's Jordan Brand said in a statement Tuesday that it encourages people seeking its products to do so in a "safe and respectful" way. 
 
 "Consumer safety is of paramount importance to us," Brian Facchini said in response to an AP request for comment. "We continue to work with our retail partners to share best practices and refine our launch process to improve the buying experience for our consumers."

 Jawaad Jabbar died Tuesday from a gunshot wound to his torso, police said. 
 
 Miami Township police said two groups — three teens and two men — struggled on a sidewalk outside the Dayton Mall before the shooting. All five people went to the mall on a mission to buy the $200 Nikes, which quickly sold out. 
 
 The three teens left empty-handed, but at least one of the men got a pair. 
 
 In front of the mall, the youths spotted the men with the shoes and confronted them, police said. Jabbar pulled out a gun and demanded the men give them the sneakers. 
 
 That’s when one of the men pulled out his own concealed weapon and shot the Middletown High School student. 
 
 No one else was injured in the shooting. The man had a permit for the gun, police said. 
 
 The two other unidentified teens were taken to juvenile detention while police probed the shooting. Neither of the two adult men has been identified. 
 
 The man was not charged, but police are still investigating. 
 
 The Nike shoes named for retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan are a hot commodity, prized by both athletes and collectors. 
 
 The sneakers retail for $200, but fetch double that in online resales.

 The Dayton Mall, by contrast, organized sales at several stores to avoid those long, tense lines. 
 
 Nike's Jordan Brand said that it encourages people seeking its products to do so in a "safe and respectful" way.

Michael George reports (Published Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016) 
 
 An alleged robber lost an arm when a man from whom he stole a pair of Air Jordan sneakers chased after him in an SUV and hit him, pinning him against a fence in Brooklyn, police say and surveillance video shows. 
 
 The alleged robber, 17-year-old Zachary Sam, was armed when he met with 39-year-old Phillipp Pierre, who thought he was selling Air Jordans to a buyer he met on Craigslist early Friday afternoon, police said. 
 
 But when Sam entered Pierre's car at East 84th Street and Avenue M in Canarsie, he pulled a gun on him and demanded the sneakers, police said. 
 
 A relative of Pierre, who asked not to be identified, told NBC 4 New York: "He put the gun to his head and told him he would shoot him, that he will not make it home to his family." 
 
 Surveillance video shows the teen getting out of Pierre's SUV with a bag containing the sneakers and calmy walking away, out of the video shot. The SUV also pulls away. 
 
 The teen then walks back into the shot, and the SUV suddenly zooms in from behind, mowing him down. 
 
 Pierre gets out the car, video shows, and he and Sam appear to scuffle as a crowd starts to gather. Sam then manages to flee, despite losing an arm in the crash, according to police. He collapsed in front of his home down the block. 
 
 Sam was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition. He was charged with criminal possession of a firearm and second-degree robbery. 
 
 The SUV driver and robbery victim, 39-year-old Phillipp Pierre, was also arrested. He's being charged with second-degree attempted murder. 
 
 It's not clear if either man has retained an attorney. 
 
 Pierre's relative said he did not hit the teen intentionally. 
 
 "The kid pulled out the gun to shoot him while he was in the car, and that's when he tried to protect himself," the relative said. "That's why he accelerated and that's when it happened."

 "He's a very good man, he was making money for his family," the relative said. 
 
 It's not clear what happened to the teen's arm lopped off in the crash.
– What Jawaad Jabbar didn't know when he allegedly confronted two shoppers who had just bought $200 Air Jordans and, pointing a gun at them, tried to steal the Nike shoes: One of those shoppers had a gun of his own. Police say that shopper shot the 16-year-old during the incident at Ohio's Dayton Mall Saturday morning, and the teen died from the injury yesterday, the New York Daily News reports. Police say three teens and two men were involved in the incident; all of them were at the mall in an attempt to buy the shoes, the AP reports. But the teens were unable to grab a pair before they sold out. When the teens saw the men with the shoes on the sidewalk outside the mall, Jabbar allegedly pulled out his gun and was quickly shot himself by the alleged would-be victim. That man had a permit for the gun and has not been charged; the other two teens were taken to juvenile detention. Police are still investigating. Meanwhile, in a New Hampshire Walmart yesterday, a Good Samaritan heard a woman scream that a man had just stolen her wallet. The do-gooder grabbed the suspect's arm and pinned him to the ground until police arrived, reports the AP via WMUR.
