They are investigating to see whether or not they can file charges against the guy. The storeowner should be given a medal. That's one less bad guy to worry about.

Damn straight that Mr. Pendergast has done society a favor. If he had just winged the perp, the already overburdened California taxpayer would have had to provide free room and board for the criminal scum.

During an interview after the shooting, Prendergast told detectives the robber had been in the store earlier Monday and had purchased several items, Owen said.

The man returned in the early afternoon hours, looking around while he waited for other people to leave the store. Once the robber and Prendergast were alone, the robber approached the store owner and displayed a semiautomatic handgun, Owen said.

Huh? If the guy was wearing a mask, how did Mr. Prendergast know it was the same man who had been there earlier? His clothing? His voice? Anyway, the perp had a gun, wanted the owner to go into the back room, Mr. Prendergast shoots him. And the police are investigating to see about whether or not to file criminal charges. Sounds like a justifiable homicide to me.

I say put Pendergast in charge of border patrol.

He had a tattoo of a blue, circular-shaped dragon on his upper left chest and a new, blue tattoo on his upper right arm, which also resembled a dragon.

The article mentions that the perp has yet to be identified. I'd suggest checking with the Blue Dragon gang.

Knowing the trend across the nation, I wouldn't be surprise if charges are filed against the homeowner. A carowner is currently on trial, in Seattle, for killing the carthief in the act of stealing his car. In New Orleans, the DA attempted to prosecute another citizen for killing someone who tried to steal his car. And in Baltimore, a man was recently acquitted for murdering a priest who molested him. When the government fails to protect society, people will take matters into their own hands.

"The store owner said he thought the guy was going to kill him. His words were, 'I didn't want to be killed in the back room.'"

The magic words...

The man was described as an adult male, possibly Hispanic, in his mid- to late-20s.

So do we have an illegal alien here or one of La Raza's storm troopers out raising funds for La Raza?

A gun was used in an anti-gun environment; so liberals will wade through every existing lawbook, millions of pages, to see if this man is a "CRIMINAL."

Meanwhile, Clinton walks free -- charged, impeached, but never tried on criminal charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

Bullseye! Nice shooting!

Ok, not to make light of the death of a human being, but if you don't want to get shot, don't rob and assault people.

The POS wanted to take him into the back room - good on the store owner to know that would have been his last trip if he'd gone.

How many sheep would have been taken to slaughter due to not having a concealed handgun?

Another case of people understanding that each of us is responsible for our own defense...

The storeowner should be given a medal.

In Texas or Oklahoma, that would be guaranteed.

In California? He better get the best lawyer possible. And PRAY.
