An attempted robbery took place in Oakland, California on Friday. According to the authorities, a Brinks armored truck driver fatally shot a suspect in the robbery.
The police report that one person was killed and three others were hurt during the exchange of gunfire. One of them was a bystander who was not involved.
There was also a Brinks security guard who was hurt in the incident.
