New York Self-Defense: Repairman shoots would-be robber :: 11/14/2017

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The man who police said tried to rob a repairman at gunpoint Friday night on Sixth Street, only to get shot himself, was arraigned Monday.

Negus DeSouza, 22, is charged with attempted robbery, assault, resisting arrest and criminal use and possession of a firearm.

Police said the repairman was working outside the house on Rochester's northeast side when DeSouza approached. Police say an exchange of gunfire took place between DeSouza and the repairman, who they say is a registered gun owner.

DeSouza was later dropped off at a hospital. The repairman was not injured.

A judge also issued an order of protection for the repairman.
