Great story. Perp might have been smarter than some think. CO2 pelletgun is truly lethal in right hands.

Squirrel gun? Also great for rats and snakes.
I killed 3 large rattlers in our implement shed last year with a 177 caliber pump up Daisy air rifle (used BBs). (did not damage the building, by choosing the shot.)
Squirrel gun?
Varmint gun that don’t disturb the neighbors
9 year old boy in training to be a man, husband and father. Well on the right track. Must have a good dad and mom.

I don’t get this “leave the car running” stuff when parking in front of a Convenience Store.
In Dirty Harry, he stopped the Bank Robbery because the guy in the Getaway Car left it running and Harry took notice.
Are all these people afraid their Slurpees will melt before they get back in their Cars and have to start them?
Anywhere I go, I shut the Car off and lock it.
The Gun didn’t scare the guy, the Kid’s icy stare did along with the Hoodie.
What parent, in their right mind, leaves a kid in a car w/ the engine running? Or leaves a kid in a car, unsupervised. Period.
“leave the car running” means I’m robbing the place or We’re about to run out of gas. Either way it’s poor planning.
“What parent, in their right mind, leaves a kid in a car w/ the engine running? Or leaves a kid in a car, unsupervised. Period.”
Luckily I grew up on the streets of Philadelphia and my parents didn’t own a car.
When I was a kid, I got in my Uncle Art’s Comet and put it in Neutral and coasted down the driveway and through the back wall of the garage.
Earned me the nickname “Crash” from my Dad.
Before that, he called me “Sparky” because I stuck the car keys into the electrical outlet.
Naw, have to leave it running with the Air Conditioning on full blast so the Slurpee and the Ice in the Big Gulp won’t melt.
Leaving a two ton vehicle running and unlocked, what could go wrong? Especially with your young Kids inside.
No wonder a lot of these Convenience Stores have those vehicle barrier Poles in front.
My Car cost me 30K. I don’t leave it running and unattended, just like I don’t leave my iPhone and Wallet unattended.
The only time I ever left one running was my Ford Explorer which I could lock and unlock with the code panel on the door. It was a five-digit code from 1-10. (5 buttons that went left or right to pick the number.
I ALWAYS carry spare keys. If I need or want to leave a car running, I ALWAYS lock it. At least slow them down. Many crimes could be stopped if people would simply lock their cars or their houses. Yes, there are the types that smash windows. When they rob cars around here (about 30 miles away) they just walk up and open the doors of cars unlocked in the driveway, at night. Makes me SMH.
People with security cameras that leave their cars unlocked in the driveway; especially overnight. I don’t get it.
Wow that’s the actual kid. Awesome.
He’d have made a better President than Obama. Then again, anybody working at he convenience store would have, too.
I always park where my only car is protected on at least 3 sides - especially at walmart .
Obama comparisons are dead Jim.
Leave well enough alone.
Not a chance after the damage that scum and his supporters did to this country.
