When I was younger I worked at a 7/11 so I could have an instant job when I transferred to SD from CO. After I moved my old boss had to work my graveyard shift until they replaced me.
They found her in the back room shot in the head for the 80 or so bucks in the register. Still gives me chills.
Yeah, sounds crazy. Sorry to hear about that. Shame someone lost their life over chump change. Sad stuff. I can see that sticking in someone's mind years later.
But we all know that once you make the decision to shoot, you shoot to kill.

Yes, this is a super important distinction. You shoot to neutralize the threat, if that means the perp dies in the process so be it. However, what you can't do is to "intentionally" kill the perp even after they've been neutralized (e.g. coup de grace).
Gee, but he didn't need an assault weapon to defend himself ? How can that be ?
Gee, and you want to restrict him to a revolver with maybe 6 shots. Did you see how fast that Semi-automatic took down the bad guy?
That's what's so nice about a Semi - speed. Plus he had a good 10-12 shots to make sure the guy did not shoot back or make sure his buddy come in the door.
A lot of Libs want to ban Semi Automatics and this falls in that category. This "weapon of war" sure served it's purpose.

Homeboy did drop like a sack of taters didn't he? It looked like the guy shot him in the rear end, it was hard to tell.
The store video quality seems too good and color imaging uses up a lot more memory. Might be a fake or a promotional video.
Lol, its 720p quality, there are DOZENS of security cameras on Amazon alone that record at that quality. Its not like some 4K UHD stuff we are talking about here. Also keep in mind its a mobile phone store, they are usually pretty good at technology in places like that.

Right. That rules out head shots, which likely would be fatal, but it would be hard to hit such a small target.
