It was about 8 p.m. Friday. A neighbor told Turner, a retired Harlem School District teacher, the police were doing a welfare check on her. Turner thought that was strange. She wasn't sick or anything.
When police knocked again on her door about 10:15 p.m., she opened it and told them, "I am fine."
Then she wasn't.
"I said, 'That is not my son,'" Lucille Turner told the Register Star on Wednesday from the Rockford home she shared with her son, Laurence Turner. Police told her they wouldn't be there if they weren't sure. They'd checked fingerprints.
Quote:
"None of us saw it coming," Lucille Turner said.
"Everyone is in complete disbelief," said his sister, Lauren Turner, 31, of Detroit. "We don't understand it."
"It threw me for a loop," said Joe Carter of Cherry Valley. He and Laurence Turner had been friends for a dozen years since he moved into a house near the Turners. He and Turner had talked at 12:30 p.m. the day of the Alpine Bank robbery.
Carter said Laurence Turner told him he was going to work. They'd planned to go out to get something to eat after Carter was done for the day at his welding job. "He never was very clear what he did for work," Carter said.

Lucille Turner said she was unaware of any recent event in her son's life that could have driven him to rob a bank. He liked to go out to eat, but nothing extravagant. He was a bargain shopper, buying clothes at Burlington Coat Factory. "He doesn't have a lot of stuff," Lauren Turner said. "Nothing peculiar."
Quote:
"There is evidence he did this," Lucille Turner said. "It's true. It happened. But he was more of a person than this. That is not all him."
Laurence Turner had loyal friends his mother liked. He cared for his girlfriend's young son as though he was his own, Lucille Turner said. He rescued a squirrel and released it back into the wild after caring for it about five years ago, Lauren Turner said. Friends wrote sympathy cards recalling that Laurence Turner walked their dogs.
"I am still in shock," Lauren Turner said. "I really had to come to terms with this. It feels so out of the blue."
That is called a clue.Quote:

Cant tell if the first shot hit him, but when the security guard reaches around the wall and fires you can see the down pop out of the guys vest on the opposite side. Looks like that shot when straight through his middle and popped out the down on exit. He was dead within seconds of that, but the gut shot couldn't have felt too good while he was still breathing.FullDraw said:
Looks like the very first shot did the perp in.

Looked like the guard told them to call 911 when he went around the corner.DannyDuberstein said:
For anyone below the counter, how are they supposed to know the robber was on the losing or winning end of that battle? I'm staying the F down for a while.
Balls, or dumbs, I can't decide which. Watching that I had three questions initially. I couldn't tell on the robber's first shot if he hit home on the guard - maybe catching one in a vest - as he staggers back pretty violently. Then I thought it was a little brazen to stick his head around the corner. Easily could have taken a round in the face there. And then finally did he have a stove-pipe? Appears hee had to clear a jam at the :57 mark which he did quickly. I couldn't count total rounds but he didn't reload at that point.lazuras_dc said:
Guard has balls reaching around the corner for the second shot. You can see the perps firearm being fired in the guards general direction when he peeped around the corner for that shot!
Police Report: Someone dragged in a pile of swiss cheese wearing a lightly-worn vestSasappis said:RM1993 said:
You're right. I hadn't spotted that one before. Wonder if he also got him with the shot as he was going out the door?
I think he got him in the upper right of the back on the way out the door. It is hard to tell in the video.
I am sure if someone cared enough they could find us a ballistics report.
Hmmmm, so I'm guessing the first shot was through the chest and the shot that looked to be in the mid section with an exit out the side of the vest was maybe just though the vest itself. Then he caught one in the ass on his way out the door.SanAntoneAg said:
According to the Rockford paper, the security guard is a retired sheriff's deputy. No mention that he was shot.
The perp was shot twice: chest and buttocks. He had opiates and weed in his system based on autopsy results.
