Community Outraged that Store Clerk Shot Man, Surveillance Video Tells Different Story (VIDEO)

Community members are up in arms in southeast Houston, demanding justice for a 21-year-old man who was shot by a store clerk during an altercation Monday night. What happened? The young man punched the clerk in the face.

According to KHOU news, Alexander Calloway and his two cousins were trying to enter a gas station at 3:30 a.m., but the store was locked. The young men got into an argument with the clerk, Akrem Azzam, through the bulletproof exterior counter. Azzam eventually unlocked the door to speak with Calloway, which was admittedly unwise. Still, that’s no excuse for what happened next.

Azzam confronted Calloway, the two getting chest to chest, apparently arguing (in the video it looks like Calloway was the aggressor). Calloway reached back and hit Azzam in the face, and in turn Azzam pointed his handgun at Calloway and shot him in the belly.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So, what is surveillance footage worth? Probably a “not guilty” verdict.

Interesting confrontation. As best I have been able to determine, Azzam is a Muslim name. So we have a Muslim and a Black. Not surprising, Quanell X took the side of the Black kid. If Obama had a son like one of these, wonder which one it would be.

How could the clerk possibly know after being viciously assaulted and attacked the suspect was not going to suddenly produce a gun or knife and kill him?

People who physically attack others for no justified reason, should expect severe consequences.

Our friend Akrem Azzam is obviously the victim of not enough cheezy '50's Bwana movies being show in his native fill-in-the-blank-istan....

Every cracker knows that when the drums stop something bad is gonna happen with the Ubangi's.

If the winds shift in an ugly direction, 'bama said he'd stand with the muslims.

Three armed companions with the black dude?

Hey, after a punch in the chops I'd shoot first and and let the cops ask all the questions later.

The biggest question will be "whose side will the Drive-By Media take, the black's or the Muslim's"?

The mediawhores will be turning themselves into pretzels trying to figure who to defend and who to smear.

Whaddya bettin'?

>Azzam later told police that after he shot Calloway, one of Calloway’s cousins approached the store and opened fire though the security window. The store clerk was not hit. Police said that man was arrested and is facing aggravated assault charges.

In a sane world, the cousin shooter would be facing attempted murder charges.

His skin must be the correct color to skate with minimal charges I guess.

You have to be armed in Houston. If Houston Police showed up within a hour of the first call, it would be a miracle.

Let's see - I have three options:

- Ignore the idiots and stay away from the window in case they have guns

- Call 911

- Open the door

Hmmm.. I think I'll open the door.....

As best I have been able to determine, Azzam is a Muslim name.

It's definitely a mid east name. Not necessarily a muslim name. Many , if not most of these middle eastern store operators are actually Chistians who were persecuted in their homeland
