Out with a bang

This is only supposed to happen in the movies. Guy robs a corner shop in America, there's a car chase, he comes off second best. But instead of giving up, he lights one last cheroot and goes down guns blazing. As Joshua Bearman says, "Just look at this fucking guy and tell me he wasn't supposed to go out like this." The robber was identified as one Robert Sylvester. Age? 57. Wow. He died in hospital after police took him out.

Take a look at the photos by the very brave David Proeber.
