For your information i was the clerk on duty that nite an yes he did have a gun an yes he did hold an point the gun at me. All the while telling me i dont want to hurt you. So for the record yes i was afraid i wasn’t going home that night. An thank God for what ever the reason was he left the store. With nothing an me alive.
I wonder if the gun was an AR15 or a Ruger 9MM, we had a break in and robbery last week and that’s 2 of the items stolen and have the possible suspect on camera and sure would like the guns back!!!!
@jay there is video of this robbery! Why would u have your doubts! She has no reason to lie
Jay- not the cigs , if he left without anything he still needs at least 5 years for showing a gun in the crime. This is what gives ALL gun owners a bad name and I dont like having it.
@jay it’s my mother that works in the store, and what’s said in the article IS true…
Privately owned convenience store owners; ARM YOURSELVES!
As soon as store owners start dropping these robbers, the popularity for these armed robberies will begin to wane.
really cigarettes only com on .. Unless there is a video of this I have to have my doubtst
