“The two male juveniles approached the Radio Shack and pulled masks over their faces, not realizing that the manager could see them through the tinted window. As they entered the store, the manager tried to grab the rifle they were carrying and in the struggle, a shell was ejected and the rifle jammed. The manager ran across the street to call police and the boys continued with the robbery. They ordered the female clerk onto the floor, but then couldn’t figure out how to open the till. They grabbed an armload of merchandize and ran through the block to the car they had on Chicago Street with a driver waiting. They dropped a baseball bat from the bag they were trying to conceal the rifle in. Three witnesses watched them get into the car and speed onto South Temple, where they pulled up in front of a police sergeant. The sergeant recognized that the individuals had something to do with the robbery in progress being broadcast at that moment. He began following the suspects as other officers converged on the vehicle. The three suspects were stopped at 250 S.
