OFF-DUTY COP IN CLOWN COSTUME KILLS ROBBER, 16

JERRY MOORE wanted to go robbin'. The 16-year-old Chicago native even showed his older brother Mike Jordan his piece: a .38-caliber revolver. The Jerry told his big brother "I'm gonna rob someone."
Mike told the Chicago Sun-Times : "He was all talk, you know? I thought he just wanted to be seen on the street with the gun."
 Jerry figured a clown at a community sleepover event would be an "easy target." Big mistake for
young Jerry. The clown was in reality an off-duty cop. Moore tried to rob him, the pair wrestled for the .38 and then it went off. The clown had the last laugh.

His brother said: “I know what he did was wrong, but he wouldn’t have shot anyone — that’s probably why he picked the clown, so he wouldn’t have to shoot.”
