N.Y.: Suspect Killed in Robbery Attempt: "A bar owner shot a would-be robber to death at his establishment on Lyell Avenue. The incident occurred at Kitzel's bar on Lyell Avenue. Police say shortly after noon Thursday, a man attempted to rob the place when he was shot dead by the owner, John Kitzel of Rochester. �He'd give you the shirt off his back, if you asked him for it,� said Susan Kitzel, daughter of the bar owner. �That�s the truth.� Police have not released the name of the deceased gunman. Police recovered handguns, believed to belong to both Kitzel and the suspect. Police say there were no witnesses. �The two individuals were inside the establishment by themselves,� said David Moore, Rochester Police Chief. �The operator was actually opening up when this happened.� The case will be presented to a grand jury, though police say the preliminary indication is the shooting was done in self defense."
