Killer stopped, killed by his own low-hanging britches

From The New York Post, by way of Fox News:

... A career criminal who slaughtered three members of a family in their apartment in New York's trendy Upper West Side Thursday plunged to his death after tripping over his baggy pants ... 

According to police, gunman Hector Quinones shot 24-year-old Carlos Rodriguez Jr. and his father, and stabbed Rodriguez' grandfather to death. Quinones then lunged after 49-year-old Gisela Rodriguez, he tripped over his pants.

It gets better:

... fleeing empty-handed, Quinones ditched his gun, a .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol loaded with hollow-point bullets, and made a dash down a rear fire escape. But again, his low-slung pants fell to his ankles, tripping him and sending him falling three stories to his death, authorities said ...

See, there is justice.
