Shoot him on sight and save the taxpayer money.
No description, is he on foot and still in the area or did he have a vehicle? No advisory to the neighborhood on what to watch for. Even a general description would be helpful, instead we get “white male” seems odd even for ECSD
>>>So has any other info or description been released or are we still only know white male?
That’s all that has been released. We would update the story if more info was released.

My heart goes out to this little family !! I seen all the police blocking several roads as I came home today!! Hope they find this guy that did this …this young family and their children have only been there a few years and with a empty home on one side and woody area on the other ..thank the lord he was able to call for help and make it the the hospital !! Pray he will be okay !! Prayers for the family as well !!
We live in the area and yes my gun IS LOADED and i will use it
The “batter” is lucky he got away unscathed. Every person I know up there with few exceptions is packing. Talk about a stupid place to pick for a robbery…
I wouldn’t doubt it was some drug head lookin for something to steal and then sale to get his next fix. Drugs are ruining so much all around us. Probably someone who lives close by. If you live close by and think it could be your family or friend that did this, turn them in before they end up at the funeral home or they put somebody else there. We heard he beat the man pretty bad with a baseball bat. Hope and pray he will be OK.
