Orange Blossom Trail pharmacist kills armed robber

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

A pharmacist shot an armed robber dead Tuesday at a drugstore off South Orange Blossom Trail, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

It was at least the fourth time this year that a robber was killed at a Central Florida business and was the second drugstore holdup that ended in death.

The shooting happened about 5:15 p.m. at JR Pharmacy, 2160 Whispering Lakes Blvd.

The man came into the shop with a handgun and, after a brief confrontation, was shot to death, sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. Investigators would not release names, where the body was found or what the man tried to steal.

you would be amazed at how the Navy has been erased from Orlando. Still OBT has some of the best gun shops in Orlando as well those clubs you mentioned.

Either way good shoot, honest citizens standing up to crooks is what makes America great.

It was the choice of the robber to enter the store. He made the choice.
