My humble opinion: Damn good shot under stress, a head shot.PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police say a dollar store manager shot and killed an attempted robbery suspect on Thursday night.
It happened around 8:30 p.m. at the Dollar General located at 9th Street and Girard Avenue.
According to Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace, the 36-year-old male suspect walked into the store, announced a robbery and ordered the cashier to open the register.
That's when the worker got the manager's attention, which ultimately led to the shooting.
"The manager came over, attempted to talk to him. The suspect then said again, 'I have a gun, give me all your money,'" according to Pace.
The suspect then brandished a makeshift weapon -- it was in the shape of a gun and covered in plastic, police said.
The store manager, who has a license to carry, shot the suspect at least one time in the head, police said. He died at the scene.

There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men. - RAH
Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo - use in that order.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.
