The man told the teen he would give him his wallet and acted as though he was going to get it, but instead grabbed a larger caliber revolver that was lying on the seat, police said.

As he pushed the teen’s gun away, the man shot the suspect, police said.
Reminds me of Tom Cruise in Collateral.

Because the teen did not have a handgun when he was found, police searched the complex and discovered it a few hours later.
“At this point, we believe it was self-defense,� Irving police spokesman David Tull said.
Good thing there.
