Beaumont police are looking for a man witnesses say has a gunshot wound to the arm after he robbed the Gulf Street Liquor Store in Beaumont.

Beaumont Police Officer Crystal Holmes tells KBMT 12 news around 10:30 a.m. Friday patrolmen were called to the 3000 block of Gulf Street in Beaumont where a 9-1-1 caller reported an armed robbery. The store owner told police a man with wearing a black cap, long sleeve black shirt, black baggy jeans and an orange bandanna used a large-caliber handgun in the robbery. As the robber started to leave the clerk grabbed his own handgun and chased the suspect into the parking lot. Police say the clerk told officers the suspect turned and pointed a gun in his direction so he fired a number of shots at the suspect. He said one of the slugs hit the man in the arm.

"I ran out to get his license plate," said Farid Ali who owns the Gulf Street Liquor Store in Beaumont. "When he saw me he tried to shoot me and that is when I shot back."

In the video report, the reporter says they are looking for a black man but that little tidbit doesn’t appear in the website report. Yet the authorities know who the guy is... Hmmm.

The store owner needs more gun and more range time.

Gotta love the description. Got everything but the skin color. Talk about PC. I mean was the guy Chinese, White, Indian, American Indian, Hispanic? Of course we know what color the guy was just from reading the article. This Political Correctness will be the death of this civilization.

Has the color of his clothes, the color of his car, but not the color of his skin. Hopeless.

There is 99.9% chance we all know the color of his skin.....

[Misterioso]

And we know the size of his “caliber” — large.

Maybe Red? Not too many Indians in that part of Texas. Could be Brown, lots of Hispanics around. White IS possible. There are a fair number of Vietnamese in those parts, maybe yellow?

Wrong bar rag breath...read post #2...the video said he was black....big surprise....

I was commenting on the source, not the video. For all the source said he could have been bright blue and we wouldn’t know.
