Botched Robbery at Dunkin' Donuts Is Fatal

A man who tried to rob a Harlem Dunkin' Donuts shot its manager to death yesterday. The attempted robbery was during broad daylight at 1PM, with the Post reporting that the robber waited in line until his turn and announced a stick up. The 20-something manager, a student at Baruch College, tried to flee, but was shot in the back, and then shot two more times as he tried to leave the store. The robber left after being unable to open the cash register - other employees had already left the scene. The Dunkin Donuts at 145th Street and Lenox Avenue did have surveillance cameras, so the police will be reviewing the tapes to see if they can get a picture of the killer.

And it was a particularly violent Sunday, though the police are quick ot point out that "one day does not make a trend."
