1 dead, one injured in Miami Burger King shooting
By ROBERT SAMUELS AND JENNIFER LEBOVICH
jlebovich@MiamiHerald.com One man was killed and another seriously wounded in a shootout inside a Miami Burger King on Tuesday, officials said.
Police said a man wearing a ski mask walked into the store at Biscayne Boulevard and 54th Street and demanded money from a clerk.
A customer, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled a gun, said Officer Jeff Giordano, a Miami police spokesman.
The customer and robber exchanged fire.
The robber was shot dead at the scene.
The customer, who had several gunshot wounds, was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in serious but stable condition, said Lt. Ignatius Carroll, a Miami Fire Rescue spokesman.
At about 4 p.m., officials got several 911 calls reporting people shot inside the Burger King.
I love a (relatively) happy ending.
But what I want to know is: Were the last words the robber heard “Where is your god now?”
Gotta love the concealed weapons permits...
Do we get free fries with one dead robber?
I just came from MickeyD’s and only got a little burger and a McChicken sandwich. The chick is much better than the little roadkill specials.
“The robber was shot dead at the scene.”
Good.
CCW saves the day - AGAIN
I love a happy ending. Not, it’s I love a happy meal and a dead robber, to go, with ketchup.
What? No toy?
If the hero hadn’t been wounded, he’d probably be in trouble.
liberals will want the customer charged with murder or manslaughter
perp, rot in hell.
“The robber was shot dead at the scene.”
Good shootin’.
the only problem was their soda machine had broke, Co2? but the sweet ice tea was good too...
I was actually surprised that it was that good. The other ones were not that good. The McChicken had pepper on it, the other ones had not.
Brave CCW in Miami. Not for his actions to take down the perp but brave for eating Burger King food. ;-)
Seriously - pretty awesome job but sad that perps do stupid things like this. The CCW may have saved the employees lives at BK.
The CCW saved the public from future crime and taxpayer money.
Fast food can be fatal.... take a gun.
Too bad the CCW allowed “an exchange” of fire. I’d wager his opening line will be doubletap to the head next time he finds himself in a similar close up situation.
I started reading the comments at the miami herald article and could not find one supporting the perp. Everyone was conservative and supportive of CCW and the 2nd amendment. Even Obama bashers there.
Where did ‘O’ get those Florida votes anyway?
Oh that’s right, ACORN was counting the votes, never mind.
Not here in FL. If you decide to commit a violent crime, you pretty much sign-up to become target practice for any CCW holders who happen to be in the area.
Florida can be a goofed-up state in some respects, but the gun laws are some of the best in the nation.
