COLUMBIA, SC Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened at a Columbia restaurant late Thursday.
An employee at China Kitchen Restaurant allegedly shot a man who police believe was trying to rob the eatery, according to a statement Friday from the Columbia Police Department. The worker will not be charged, and police are calling the case self-defense.
When police arrived on the scene at the Forest Drive restaurant at about 11 p.m. Thursday, they found a man on the ground who had been shot in the upper body, according to the statement. He was wearing all black and a covering over his face.
Employees told police the man entered the store with a gun and demanded money from the register, according to the statement. One employee tried to grab the gun away from the man.
A struggle ensued and another employee shot the burglar, according to police. That other employee was carrying his own gun, police said.
The suspected robber was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the statement.

Sounds like it may have been a college prof on his way to an AuntieFa rally.

Was he a burglar or a robber? The article uses both terms in rapid succession.

It took two reporters and (presumably) one editor to release it that way.
Ha! Common Core journalism at it’s best.

Every establishment should have at least one ‘Dirty Harry’ on the payroll.
This is why.

The incident described was a robbery, not a burglary.

I know that, but I was pointing out the fact that the “journalist” used both terms.

The “journalists” (two of them to write this dreck) probably don’t know the difference.
