TX: Police arrest two suspects in attempted gun shop robbery (employee held one at gunpoint)

Police have arrested two suspects in Tuesday’s failed robbery attempt at Gun Sport Ltd.

According to an OPD news release, two men entered the store Tuesday afternoon, and one pepper sprayed an employee.

The employee, whose name was being withheld, managed to keep one of the men from leaving the store by holding a gun on him, according to Sgt. Bob Forbus.

The other man reportedly fled on foot.

On Tuesday, police arrested Jameyl Loud Webb, 19, 2617 San Andres Drive, inside the store and charged him with robbery.

The owner of Gun Sport Ltd., Jon Thomas, said he was surprised and pleased at how quickly police arrested suspects in the robbery, but that he felt sorry for them.

“Here’s a young guy, doesn’t look stupid, but he may spend the next 10 years making little rocks out of big ones,” he said.

Thomas said the robbery was the first time in 30 years of owning gun shops that one of his was held up.

“Gun shops, by and large, aren’t targets because we have guns,” he said. “It’s like someone trying to rob a snake farm.”

Robbing a gun store in Texas. He should win the court case if he pleads insanity.

"stupid" + "criminal" is, when speaking of direct action (robbery, etc...), usually redundant

Robbing a gunshop is not unheard of.

A few weeks back I was watching dumbest criminals or somesuch garbage on TV and saw a robbery of a gun shop (pawn shop?). The store clerk gave the BG a revolver of some type, the BG had a pocketful of ammunition and loaded one round and robbed the place.

What is it with these stupid criminals trying to rob gun stores? You posted another one a month or two ago. I would think that would be the last place anyone would try to rob. Especially one in Texas. Very stupid criminals. LOL
