Well. Isn't this special?

PHOENIX - Police have identified a man shot and killed while trying to rob a medical marijuana grower at gunpoint Thursday.
Phoenix police said in a Friday news release that 38-year-old Larry Miller died at a local hospital.
Police said the 30-year-old shooter had been issued an Arizona Medical Marijuana Identification card allowing him to grow and possess marijuana. He apparently advertised medical marijuana for sale to people who could show him their own medical marijuana identification card.
Police said just before 4 p.m. Thursday Miller and another man met the 30-year-old grower at an apartment complex near 17th and Missouri avenues to make a purchase. When the grower, who was not identified, asked for their medical marijuana identification cards, Miller said his card was in his apartment and lured the seller to the back of the apartment complex, police said.
Miller then pulled out a weapon and tried to rob the grower of the marijuana. Police said a struggle took place and the marijuana grower grabbed his own gun and shot Miller.
When police arrived, they found the grower doing CPR on Miller.
Police said the man who was with Miller grabbed the grower's backpack, believed to contain marijuana, and fled the area.
The grower was questioned and released by police.
Police said no arrest was made but that the Maricopa County Attorney's Office will determine whether charges should be filed against the grower.
