Dollar General Robber caught when he shows up at hospital

Post by Bruenor »

Looks like the clerk will be OK. Glad the robber was stupid enough to shoot his own hand, when he pushed the clerk.

Robinson pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded cash, according to police reports.

The clerk replied: "No, that's a fake gun," according to police reports.

Robinson then shoved the clerk with his right hand and shot him with his left hand, according to police reports
Police reviewed surveillance video of the shooting. They were later called to MetroHealth, where Robinson was being treated for a gunshot wound to the hand.

It's sad that the employee was shot in the chest, but hopefully will recover, at least physically. Although it's nice the criminal shot himself also and got caught, you can't count on that. This is a good example of the importance of concealed carry. Shoot the criminal before they shoot you, and not just in the hand either.

Also brings to mind when carrying if you are fending off an attacker with one hand while trying to draw and shoot with the other, make sure you know where your off hand is in relation to where you are shooting.

Very good. In force on force training that's one of the things airsoft can teach, without the whole maimed-for-life aspect of real firearms.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
