“Investigators said John Perry”

I love when they do this. It shows no respect for a person who otherwise, I’m sure, doesn’t want to be named.

There is more work to do..


“I think it’s terrible, I really do. I don’t think people should be allowed to carry guns,” one customer said.

“(Perry) should have called the police. I don’t think it’s right for people to carry all these guns. It’s a crazy world,” Mabreeward said.


Yo pin heads! OWS called, they want you to come back ASAP!

I wonder if Carlos Ortiz is an illegal Amish person.

"The store manager said a window was shot out in the front of the store by Perry who reportedly fired more than one shot at Ortiz."

Somewhat lax gun control in Indy.

Why the leg? If the guy was armed, he should have aimed for the heart.

This is why I have been hating on liberal women. All emotion, not a shred of logic or common sense. Those type of fools have destroyed this society with their whining mucus-filled eyes.

Gun control is a steady hand and a beady eye.

Yabut, if the store is full of people, shooting downwards may be a good protocol.

But, but...What about Ortiz's kids?

You must want them fatherless, huh?

You've got to be a heartless conservative.

Mr. John Perry is proof we need more gun control in the USA.

I mean the leg? Really? Control your gun better. Go center of mass!!!

Indianapolis metro police spokeswoman Catherine Cummings said I would encourage anyone who finds themselves in a position where a robbery may be occurring to actually comply with what the suspect is asking for.

Yeah, comply and just let the lead you into the back room...

Thank you Miss Police Officer.
