A robbery suspect in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, died Monday night after allegedly pointing a gun at an armed citizen near a Harkins Theater in Bricktown.

KOCO reported Tuesday the suspect, a 22-year-old male, allegedly pulled a gun on a 36-year-old man with intent to commit a robbery just before 10 p.m.

KFOR notes the 36-year-old man and his wife were in a parking lot when the suspect allegedly approached. The 36-year-old husband pulled his own gun and shot the suspect multiple times.
