Police got two 911 calls about an armed robber. The suspect tried to hold up the Walgreens on Glenway but the clerk told him there was no money in the register. An employee at the Deal$ across Glenway says she was robbed of $400. Both clerks gave a similar description of the robber, including that he was wearing pajama pants. Officers caught up with the suspect, identified as Robert Tenbrink, 45. They ordered him to keep his hands up. Dash cam video shows him turning slightly toward the officers, reaching down into his jacket and reach. Police say Tenbrink pointed a BB gun at police. They fired, killing Tenbrink.
