The double shooting happened around midnight on Saturday night at the Walgreens at FM 1960 and Ella Boulevard in northeast Harris County

Double shooting? It was a GD attempted armed robbery. Gezzz I hate the lying media.

I must be lucky to live in a fairly sane region.

I’ve never seen a security guard in a Walmart, much less a Walgreens.

The closest to that that I have seen is a barely ambulatory “Walmart Greeter” who also occasionally checks receipts against cart contents on the way out during the height of tourist season.

Or even in a bank... Although I’d bet that that some of the tellers and the managers ‘carry’, or at least have one handy under the counter / desk.

Must be a nice area if there is a guard in Walgreens...and they are armed.

Interesting you would mention that. I have noticed the Walmart greeter does, in fact, check the receipts of some shoppers as they leave. I have never had mine checked, though. Aren't they risking a discrimination suit if they "profile" shoppers to check? Seems pretty risky to me.

“Double shooting? It was a GD attempted armed robbery. Gezzz I hate the lying media.”

That is the way that they work. Outrageous lies catch your attention while the concealment of truth, like this, goes unnoticed. This was a very deliberate choice of words by the reporter/editor.

I pray for the security guard. Because of these two stupid youths, he will be asking himself for the rest of his life if there was anything else he could have done. (Even though all logic says there wasn’t).

I dunno. If they are checking at all at mine, I always get checked and the only profile I’d fit is white senior citizen straight conservative male.

I never noticed any profiling going on.

>>Should be a lesson learned by many teens.

What’s more the 18 year old who tried to run away will be looking at a tough sentence since the crime he engaged in led to the death of his partner.

Same here, and I just got "carted" for the first time ever just yesterday

Girl scanned my receipt and my items.

2 cases of canned dog food and a case of Ensure. (Officially a Geezer now)

I didn't think much of it since I used the self-checkout, so no one put any of those little stickys on my boxes

I’ve only used self-checkout twice, a few years ago.

It is more hassle for me than waiting in line for a cashier.

Just getting money for college.

Since this was an armed robbery attempt as well as an attempted murder of the guard, the survivor faces a first degree murder charge, 25-life.

Who says that guns don’t stop criminals? Ask the dead one and his buttbuddy about that.
