For not having much, if any, training the guy did OK. He feigned appeasement (not cooperation), kept his gun hand away from the threat and didn't hesitate when he got a chance to shoot. Not fancy but fundamentally sound and effective!

What are the odds that any of the numerous "gun law" charges (cited in the link) will add even a single day to the sentence for the attempted more serious crime(s)? My bet is that a plea deal will result in no more than a 5 year sentence (for all charges combined) being served in a juvenile facility - basically the same as charging him as a minor and assigning the maximum sentence for armed robbery would bring.

On top of that he gets a little "street cred".

I don't know how pulling off a botched armed robbery and getting shot in the process which was captured on a security video would do much for your "street cred". Whoever that stunt impresses is not worth impressing.
