FORT WORTH, Texas -- Police said a man who tried to rob a donut store was shot and killed by a man who lives near the store Friday morning. The robber broke into the store in the 100 block of Roberts Cut Off Road in West Fort Worth and terrorized the woman who was working there, police said. Police said the woman, Angel Randle, ran out the back door screaming for help.
The neighbor heard the pleas, grabbed his shotgun and then fatally shot the robber, police said. This is the second time this month shes been robbed, witness Raymon Farrell said. And, God bless her soul, shes still alive. A River Oaks officer was passing by the scene and witnessed the shooting. Investigators said they questioned the neighbor, but dont expect to arrest him.
there...fixed it
And local police plan ticker-tape parade for the shooter.
They dubbed it the “The thin blue donut line.”
I wonder what right the shooter had to kill the guy?
As we say here in Texas, "He needed killin'"...
We all need a happy story now and then.
Any other Freepers have personal knowledge/experience that can back me up on this?"
Be glad to.
I used to operate coin operated games (pinball machines,etc) in a donut shop in Rancho Cordova (near Sacramento)Ca.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputies made it a regular stop between 2 and 5 AM (when the shop was closed) to 'check up on the safety of the donut maker/baker'.
And yes, they always got free coffee and a nice warm freshly made donut or ten.
But I'm still glad that they were there checking up on the place.
“I wonder what right the shooter had to kill the guy?”
The guy was committing an (apparently) armed robbery in Texas. He definitely injured the clerk. What more do you need?
LOL! Reminds me of my college days. I worked at Burger King, and always did the late shift and close on the weekends, because I lived at home, didn't have a curfew, like the girls who lived on Campus did. (this was the 70's), and my parents didn't mind my working late. There was a donut store around the corner, and I usually got off work between 3 and 3:30 am. I stopped off at the donut place quite often, if I saw their light blinking that the donuts were ready. There were always one or two police cars already there when I went in.
Man, those donuts were good, and my family loved it when they woke up the next morning with fresh donuts waiting for them.
Officer just happened to be passing by........:o)
