GRESHAM, Ore. — A man who witnessed robbers taking cell phones from an AT&T store in Gresham Tuesday night followed them outside and fired two shots at the getaway car in an attempt to shoot out the tires.
The robbers got away. Police arrested the armed witness, 48-year-old Roger L. Witter of Gresham. He's facing charges of unlawful use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
Sgt. Rick Wilson says the use of deadly force was not justified and the bullets could have hit an innocent bystander.
