Family Dollar Employee Charged After Shooting Shoplifter at Least 10 Times
2023-03-27
[Breitbart] Phoenix, Arizona, Family Dollar employee Kevin Salas Madrid is under arrest after allegedly shooting a shoplifter at least ten times.

The shooting occurred Wednesday just before 8 p.m.

FOX 10 Phoenix reported that 24-year-old Madrid confronted the shoplifter and that the shoplifter allegedly punched Madrid in the face.

Madrid responded by shooting the shoplifter and then allegedly continued to shoot once the suspect fell to the ground.

FOX 10 said Madrid shot the shoplifter ten times but AZFamily claimed Madrid shot him 15 times, "emptying his gun’s magazine."

A witness told police the shoplifter allegedly made a fist and punched Madrid hard enough to knock his glasses off. It was after that punch that Madrid opened fire.

Madrid was booked on a second degree murder charge. The shoplifter is hospitalized in critical condition.

#8  ...sounds like he's qualified for the NYPD.

#7  Madrid should be arrested for improper use of a handgun. 15 rounds, 10 hits and no kill? Take away his man card.

#6  Obviously an adherent of the "If it's worth shooting, it's worth shooting a lot" school of thought. OTOH, if he's such a bad shot that the perp/vic is still alive, a mag dump might be reasonable in his case.

#3   The shoplifter is hospitalized in critical condition.

It appears even emptying the clip wasn't enough to send the target directly to the morgue. O.O

#1  It's that whole thing about shooting them after they are rendered inert.

What happened to the unnamed restaurant guy that retrieved and returned wallets and money from his inert assalant?
