#1 Two bad guys dead, two wounded. Not bad for a man in his 70's.

#2 Nice shooting. It is good to see the community being against the robbers too.

#4 Woodrow Call: For all you know it invites people to rob us.

Gus McCrae: Well the first man comes along that can read Latin is welcome to rob us, far as I'm concerned. I'd like a chance t' shoot at a educated man once in my life.

#5 "Some" of the community was against the robbers, but another part of the community is composed of robbers & other would-be thugs. I would not want to be in the proprietor's position or location now. But at least having a shotgun without a permit in NYC is not a capital offense, yet.

#6 Don't you just love a happy ending?

"How the hell are you going to rob someone in broad daylight?" said Sarah Martin, president of the General Grant Residents Association. Do it at night when nobody's watching dammit!

#7 Some commenter said "3 shots, 4 hits - that's what I call gun control".

The place was only a few hundred yards from the nearest police station.

#8 Another wounded man left a blood trail that the police followed to 125th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.

And I thought tracking was a lost art.
