HAMPTON
A gift card ATM store employee shot two men, killing one of them, during a robbery on Friday evening.
Around 6:21 p.m., police were called to the first block of West Mercury Blvd. after a report of a robbery, according to a news release. When officers arrived, they found a man who had suffered a gunshot wound. Timothy L. Johnson, 18, of Hampton, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
A second man was found in the 2000 block of Seldendale Drive suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. He was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition. The man, who hasn't been identified, will face multiple charges when he's released from the hospital, police said.
Police said the two men entered the store to commit a robbery, but during the crime, an employee who was legally armed with a handgun, fired the weapon and struck both men.
The store employee, who hasn't been identified, is not facing charges and sustained no injures, police said.
Fantastic movie but only if you think round is funny
They have another cousin who works at a warehouse directing truck drivers at the docks.
His name is Moanback.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
“If Johnson was only a few months younger, the employee would have been accused of shooting “children”.”
For propaganda purposes they’re “children” until age 24.
Nono Nuffin.
I have no idea what this business does, but I recently learned that much of credit card fraud involves the purchase of gift cards. Then the thief sells the gift cards rather than cashing them in himself.
So at that point he just disappears, Scott free.
My bank explained this to me when I asked them how a guy could hit my card in six equal amounts of $800 each.
So this could be a case of two tough guys meeting head on.
Very interesting, thanks. It does seems like a business that would attract a violence-prone element.
I’ve seen cardboard signs, “We buy gift cards!” on street corners, especially right after Christmas. Another thing I’ve recently noticed is “Cash for Diabetic Strips” signs.
I would say he succeeded.
He turned his life away from living and to not living.
