DELRAY BEACH (Florida)— A clerk armed with a gun fatally shot an armed robber at a Delray Beach convenience store Saturday evening, police said.

Authorities have not yet identified the participants. According to Delray Beach police, the incident began just before 10 p.m. at the Community Food Market at 139 NW Fifth Avenue.

Clerks told police that a man armed with a semiautomatic handgun entered the store and tried to rob them. One of the clerks hid behind the counter and the man fired at him. Another clerk took a weapon and shot back at the robber, police said.

The robber left the scene and the clerks called 911. Police said they found the suspected robber face down and unresponsive a few blocks away from the store, clutching a handgun in his right hand.

The article says that armed robbers murdered a clerk and a customer in West Palm Beach about an hour before this happened. They don't know if it's the same guy.

The dirtbag population has been reduced by one.

“They don’t know if it’s the same guy.”

I got $10 that says it is.

Guns don’t kill scumbags...armed clerks do! They should all carry...with some training...this kind of crime would drop 80% overnight...

Ah..... the difference between having a gun, and not.

Now if the Palm Beach Store Clerks had been Armed, a couple of innocent lives could have been SAVED.

This is my neck of the woods, and my 7 day waiting period will be up Tuesday at precisely 12:30. I can hardly wait to get my Remington 12 Gauge! It is very beautiful and feels great!

Maybe. The West Palm Beach murders happened at 9:20 on Dixie, around Forest Hill Boulevard. That area should be nuked. The vicinity around the Delray Beach robbery attempt is not much of an improvement, and only about twenty minutes away in light traffic.

With some greater certainty, the police were able to say that this is not the same guy to commit the next armed robbery in West Palm Beach.

Doubt you’ll get any takers for that bet.

Most C srore chains will fire you if you even carry a pocket knife but a smart clerk won’t worry about that. The companies should really provide free ammo. I’ve had cops tell me they wouldn’t work a C store unarmed. I never did!

Give the man a medal. There is no way of knowing how much he has saved society by getting rid of this assailant.

“Give that clerk a medal!”

That would be a cool FR tradition to start. Mail out the medal to clerk(s) to let them know that conservatives stand behind their anti-tyranny response.

“they found the robber face down and unresponsive”

On that, I have to go pour myself a drink and celebrate.

Find those convenience store clerks and give each one a medal.

“Find those convenience store clerks and give each one a medal.”

Why couldn’t we do this? I will commit to donate a sum of money each year. If others join in the contributions, FR could get medals made and send them out. It would get FR some free pub and lots of new members, said I confidently. The medals would be cheap to make but honor-worthy nonetheless for the recipient.
