SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A bystander to a botched robbery at a Texas jewelry store was killed on Sunday, before one of the two robbers involved shot and wounded six other people while fleeing, police said on Sunday. San Antonio police Chief William McManus said during a news conference that two men tried to rob the Kay Jewelers at the mall around 3:30 p.m.

An unarmed man who attempted to stop the robbery was shot dead, McManus said. This is the second time that a Good Samaritan was killed trying to intervene in a crime.”

McManus said the six shoppers, and the robber who was shot, were hospitalized in undetermined condition. One was shot and killed by one of the robbers, and the other bystander, who had a license to carry a concealed firearm, shot one of the suspects, the chief said. The shooting unfolded as two people who staged an armed robbery at a Kay Jewelers outlet at the Rolling Oaks Mall were fleeing, said Police Chief William McManus. It is unclear if the second suspect is still in the mall or fled, and police are unsure if the second suspect is armed, according to Garza. The spokesperson said earlier that people were injured in the shooting, but the nature of their injuries was not immediately known.
