GATES COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) - The Gates County Sheriff's Office has confirmed the identities of two suspects involved in a store shooting.

Officials say brothers Quinten Felton and Eddie Felton were shot and killed after an attempted robbery at Joppa Road Store located at the intersection of Acorn Hill Road and Hinton Road in North Carolina around 6 p.m. Tuesday.

During the robbery, Sheriff Edward Webb with the Gates County Sheriff’s Office, says the store clerk was knocked to the ground, kicked in the back of the head, stomped on and kicked in the back of the ribs.

From what I hear there is a investigation into the shooting of the 2 kids. The clerk defended himself, what more is there? I wish we had someone who could find out more about this story as I feel this has the makings of a Sharpton visit.

I believe, based on what I’ve read of the story....that the brothers actually grew up within a couple of miles of the store. I’d also be willing to wager, that both had some drug issues.

My heart goes out to the clerk, his life as been turned upside down.

He not only shot them in the back but they were in their strollers too.

They attacked him with a deadly weapon...a shod foot. He had the right to defend himself.

the story says ..the “children” pointed a rifle at the clerks head, while they "the children" beat and kicked the living snot at of him...the clerk at one point grabbed the rifle from the "child" and shot him in the stomach...

The point is, if they are retreating he can’t use deadly force. I’m sure the police will give him every break. But calling these thug punks “children” is not a good PR start.

Did not see this story posted before but from the other post at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2887196/posts

It says ““At that point the second suspect was at or near the door and pointed his weapon at the store owner,” Webb said. “The store owner then fired three shots at that suspect.” “

So he did not shot as they were leaving rather as they were leaving they were going to shot the clerk so he defended himself!

Could it be that "shot" and "shoot" may be replacing "loose" and "lose" in the FR lexicon of maddening word mishaps?

I'm afraid to ask.

They were such nice boys, little trayvon type angels.

Yes , they had a gun and were killed in the act of robbing and beating a store owner, but they just wanted some skittles.

This could have been avoided if the store owner would have just killed himself.

The way this article reads, it sounds like someone broke into a church and shot these Felton boys as they were praying. How about a little compassion for the store clerk instead of the armed robber scumbags?

OK. It is all fact based. If one perp was pointing gun towards clerk, then he could open fire on that one and we’ll just chalk up Thug #2 as collateral damage.

***************************************************************
The younger of the brothers was found with his pacifier in his mouth. The other brother was grasping his teddy bear as he died.

The writer of this story is an idiot. He referred to the robber as a “gentleman”! Does this word not mean what it used to mean?
