In reply to the discussion: Oooops! "Police: Customer with concealed carry license kills robber at corner store" [View all]DonP
(6,185 posts)48. He grabbed a 13 year old boy and put the gun to his head
The police reports gave more details. Airsoft gun, no orange tip of course.
Turns out the masked robber (Gildersleeve) grabbed the owners 13 year old son outside the Bodega/currency exchange, pushed the gun against his head and dragged him inside. The mother and teenage sister said it looked, and he acted, like it was a real gun.
Then he forced the mother, 16 year old girl and boy into the back and started an argument with the customer, who didn't want to go in the back room. According to the 16 year old Gildersleeve tried to force the customer in the back at gunpoint.
That prompted the customer (40 year old Hispanic Male) to draw and fire, 3 shots center mass, dead at the scene.
Airsoft, dumber than bringing a knife to a gun fight.

I wouldn't. Being forced to go "to the back of the store" is Especially threatening. nt

If the judicial process was there in the store, this man would not have had to kill.

No, but it is one of only a few crimes where the use of deadly force is justified...
