30 rounds, eh?
Once they start shooting, it's hard to get them to stop, and they'll swear on a stack of bibles that the 'bad guy' started shooting and they only returned fire. Then we find out the dead suspect has an empty BB gun, or a fully loaded gun with the safety still on, or a fully loaded gun and a detective's badge. (well, the clown in Florida missed the detective with a full magazine and then some, so no 'dead suspect' in that one)

I was typing on my cell phone earlier (with no Tapatalk). :(   From the news conference today:

http://www.omaha.com/news/crime/chief-id-s-wendy-s-robbery-suspect-says-he-fired/article_f64dc75c-2e06-11e4-9add-0017a43b2370.html

I guess we'll find out more later, but one comment suggests a scenario:

Look at the line of bullets in the three windows in the photo. This suggests that the robber tried to run, and shots were fired at him as he did so. This raises the possibility that although the crewman was not in the original line of fire, he became so.
