WHEELING -
A man is dead after attempting to rob an Elm Grove pharmacy at about 5 p.m. Friday.
According to authorities an unknown white man entered the Elm Grove Pharmacy located at 101 E. Bethlehem Blvd. carrying a gun tried to hold up the store. A pharmacy employee then shot the man, killing him.
The investigation was turned over from the Wheeling Police Department to the West Virginia State Police. State Police Sgt. D.L. Robinson said no information would be released as the incident is under investigation.
Wheeling officers, State Police, representatives from the Brooke County Medical Examiner and the State Medical Examiner offices were on scene for several hours.
Personnel from the Wheeling Fire Department also responded to the scene.
The suspects identity has not been released.
Short and sweet.
There should be a medal of some sort for those willing to risk their lives by stopping an armed robbery.
Last year 5 ppl were murdered by a druggie ina small pharmacy on a Sunday morning. I wouldn’t take my chances either.

That’s liberal pissstream media saying “See, see, we told you white guys commit crimes too....”
Glad to see the miscreant got his just reward but notice how it's OK to emphasize he was white. Had he been black, the story would have probably not even made the news.
LOL! I was thinking the same thing, but I really like the way you put it.
Once upon a time a drug-addled buffoon entered a drug store carrying a gun and announced a holdup. Somebody shot him dead and they all lived happily ever after.
All fun and games until someone shoots your eye out. Then its not so fun any more.
They made it 21 words into the article before they let us know he was white. I think they were trying to hide something. /s
This is in West Virginia...which is about 95% white. It was a given.
Go Mountaineers.
“Prescription filled.”
How many milligrams of lead in the recommended prescription?
“A man is dead after attempting to rob an Elm Grove pharmacy at about 5 p.m. Friday.”
Just “A man”???
How about rewriting it as
“A robbery suspect, whom we will report as being a white man since mentioning anything else would be un-PC and racist, is dead after attempting to rob an Elm Grove pharmacy at about 5:00 p.m. Friday.”
Lead is often prescribed in 124gr or 230gr increments ... to be injected at high velocity repeatedly until perpetration ceases.
Taken orally or as a suppository???
LOL!
One of my grandfathers was a pharmacist from West Virginia.
He woulda been proud!
Do the remaining 5% commit a disproportionate number of crimes?
Do the remaining 5% commit or does the remaining 5% commit? It's still too early in the morning for the grammar part of my brain to be awake.
