An employee at a Family Dollar in Arizona was arrested for fatally shooting a shoplifter who slugged him in the face when the worker asked him to leave, reports said.

The employee, Kevin Salas Madrid, encountered the alleged serial shoplifter inside the Phoenix store near 68th Avenue and Indian School Road just before 8 p.m. Wednesday and warned the suspect to stop stealing and exit the dollar store, according to KTVK/KPHO.

The pair then began arguing when the shoplifter punched Madrid in the face, at which point the store worker pulled a gun and opened fire, the outlet reported. He allegedly shot the suspect 10 times and continued to unleash bullets even as the man was on the floor, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

“Guilty of manslaughter, 10 years, suspend the sentence.”

Perhaps in a society that Soros wasn’t running...but now we need to play by THEIR RULES - so no way I would vote to convict and ruin an innocent person’s life, at least if the story is anywhere near what’s in the article.

Well, Obama TOLD him to bring a gun!

RE: Was the last shot between his eyes?

I hope it was the left and right sides of his crotch. Symmetry in nature is an aspect to be honored, even in “the breach.”

I can kill you with one punch.

Takin the job seriesly.

Yes, put me on the jury too. Sick and tired of people being arrested and harrassed for doing what cops and judges refuse to do. And yes, I said COPS.

Disparity of force. She has a good case, if only she has saved a few rounds.

Those who don’t respect civility eventually lose its protections.

[griffin]

a little late to wait that long. Punching someone on the ground IS deadly force.

The quart of blood technique is upper level gung fu. Make sure your gung fu is up to snuff before encountering it.

[griffin]

I knew a woman named Kevin, once.

[NorthMountain]

Yeah ... We the People must protect each other on the street AND in the courtroom.

Well, I hope Kevin gets fined $50 and has to do a weekend of community service, because we can’t have folks just popping off like this willy-nilly.

Way to go Kevin.

Parade and a medal, for sure.

A small starter house and a modest car, and a scholarship fund. Go hit up some of the old money around town to fund it.

The shooter is a dude.

I worked for a very large retail organization. We were warned to only fire warning shots. In the back of the head.

Oops I didn’t see the pic.

In the article it says that the employee's name is Kevin.

[dfwgator]

You really don’t expect me to read the article, do you?
