Dollar Store robbery foiled as shopper blasts robber.
2013-11-20
[Breitbart] On November 13, an armed customer in a Mobile, AL Family Dollar store foiled a robbery by shooting "the suspect multiple times."
Skeeter be careful, he's still moving. Here, have some more....bloweee, blowee, blowee.
According to WPMI, "two employees...[at the store] were unloading a truck, when a pair of armed robbers approached them. One of the criminals forced one of the employees to the front of the store, past terrified customers, and demanded that the employee open the safe."
Obviously not all of the customers were "terrified".
At that point, a customer drew his own gun, shooting the robber "and causing his accomplice to flee." According to Local15TV, the customer shot "the suspect multiple times." A customer who was inside the store when the robbery was foiled thanked the armed citizen for intervening: "I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart and God bless you."
Key to the City of Mobile and ammo reimbursement pending.

#6  Apparently family members are complaining that he was shot, saying that the customer could have just left the store. Sounds like they need some jail time too.

#5  Since the accomplice was participating in a felony at the time of the shooting, does that mean the accomplice can be charged with the shooting also? Inquiring minds want to know!

#4  Looks like the accomplice was apprehended. The shooter needs some range time and an upgrade to a larger caliber.

Mobile Police have arrested the man wanted in connection with a robbery and shooting at a Family Dollar earlier this week.

Nineteen-year-old Tavoris Moss is charged with two counts of first degree robbery. Authorities say Moss and another man robbed the Family Dollar located on Stanton Road.

That other suspect, police say, was shot multiple times by a customer inside the store. He was taken to USA Medical Center and will be charged upon release.

#3  If you've ever been in a Family Dollar Store, it should be mandatory that you are armed...

#2  Of course, if this had happened in some states, the armed customer would have been arrested, and the robber (or his survivors) would have sued him.
