An armed robbery suspect shot by police last month died in the hospital Friday, and no charges will be filed against the two officers, Prosecutor Joe Deters announced at an afternoon news conference, where he showed video from the incident. In clearing the officers, Deters said 46-year-old Robert Schneider, a suspect in at least three recent armed robberies with a long prison record, repeatedly brandished a gun at them in Westwood and tried to break into two homes following a July 31 robbery in Green Township.
