Two Men Shot Near Poarch As They Attempted To Rob Two Others, Sheriff Says
October 11, 2023
Two people were shot as they tried to rob two other people north of Atmore, according to Escambia County (AL) Sheriff Heath Jackson.
About 7 p.m. Sunday, the ECSO, Poarch Tribal Police and Atmore Police responded to a shots fired disturbance in the 7400 block of Jack Spring Road near the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation. They arrived to find two males suffering from gunshot wounds after they attempted to rob two other men, Jackson said.
“One of the victims was armed and after being threatened with a weapon, discharged his weapon at both suspects,” the sheriff said.
Both suspects were airlifted to a trauma center. An update on their conditions was not available.

“He stole something he didn’t kill someone. We all make mistakes, me my kids and everyone one else.”
“after being threatened with a weapon, discharged his weapon at both suspects,” the sheriff said”
He tried to steal something. He didn’t succeed.
He threatened to kill people to get it if the report is accurate. He didn’t succeed in the way he intended.
Yes, we are not perfect and we realize our imperfections make us suffer. We avoid certain actions to avoid certain suffering — ours and that of those we care about.
Shame on everyone who has commented without compassion for this grieving family. This is my nephew and I will never see him grow into the man he could have been. Was it worth it. He stole something he didn’t kill someone. We all make mistakes, me my kids and everyone one else. And shame on the ones who questioned this mother on how her kids was raised. Kids make mistakes they shouldn’t have to pay for it with their life. So to all those perfect fathers and mother’s who commented let’s hope your perfect kids don’t ever make a mistake and have to pay for it with their life. Cause guess what you want like feeling the way this mother does. Praying for the family.
These kids was my nephews. And they had a mother aunt’s and uncles . That will never get to met them. Yea people say they robbed someone but was it worth their life their future. Is it worth the mother’s pain. Some even have the nerve to try to discredit her. Shame on you. I hope every malicious word spoken on this page feel the same anguish she feels. Cause it could easily be one of you. No one is perfect. And every mother didn’t make a mistake when their children make one. My prayers are with everyone involved, may God have mercy on your soul.

“those kids were somebody’s brother, uncle and most of y’all son and the comments y’all are saying are absolutely disgusting….these are kids yall are commenting these hateful things about and y’all should be ashamed of y’all selves”
There was no way this ended well for those who decided to prey on others. They succeeded or they failed. Nothing to brag about either way. They brought grief and shame on anyone associated with them and their ways.
We can wish they were mature enough not to do such. We can wish they had been raised better or their better raising had taken, but they made their own choices.
We can feel pity on those grieving but what kind of person would want them to have succeeded?
David for better people, better choices
At the end of the day , those kids were somebody’s brother, uncle and most of y’all son and the comments y’all are saying are absolutely disgusting. Especially considering one of the kids passed away. The whole ordeal wasn’t called for and I wish it would’ve resolved differently (meaning no one getting hurt) but these are kids yall are commenting these hateful things about and y’all should be ashamed of y’all selves.
Hopefully saved some tax money.
