New Orleans Police say a man walked into the store around 9:30 p.m. Hingel says soon after, shots flew.

"The customer walked in, went over to the coolers, walked over and started coming behind the counter," he said. "Apparently the girl didn't get the money out fast enough and started shooting."

However, another employee stepped in.

"The cooler man pushed the girl on the ground and went behind the wall a bit and came out and told the man get on the floor," said Hingel. "And the guy started shooting at him again."

The armed robber, who's name isn't yet known, was shot and killed by the employee. New Orleans police say their investigation shows the worker's actions were justified, that it was self-defense.

Brave man. Once shooting starts, not necessary to give opponent chance to give up.

[Lurker]

Shoot until the threat is neutralized. Call the cops.

Then shut the hell up.

Whew! First thought was los angeles and was concerned for the employee. Then realized it was NOLA. Employee may fare better there.

MarkTwain,

Since you’re a writer, has the coffee not kicked in yet for me, or is this a poorly written article?

It is a transcript from a TV station news broadcast.

It is probably done by computer, without ever being touched by human hands.

Nice Christmas gift that there is one less democrat voter in the world.

And five less democrat votes to be counted.

LOL, I was leaning more towards my lack of caffeine.....

The bad guy is dead but he’ll still vote 5 times in the next election. Count on it.

..... “Apparently the girl didn’t get the money out fast enough and started shooting.”

Wow.... today’s journalism at its finest...!!!

very poorly written....confusing in the extreme.....

[Carl Vehse]

Sell the armed robber’s carcass for maggot food to pay for the bullets used to stop him.

I ain’t no Mark Twain but I know a piss poorly written article when I see one and this right here is a prime example of one.

[Hazwaste]

This is what passes for journalism now. Reads like a 2nd grader describing a fight.

[ThunderSleeps]

Very poorly written. It sounds like a second employee, the "cooler man" intervened after the armed robber had already fired shots. My only nit with the actions were - I would not have issued a verbal warning. Once someone has initiated the use of deadly force (shots fired) I will remove the threat directly. I won't be asking.

What makes you think he’s gonna quit voting democrat just ‘cause he bees daid now?

Burying dead folks above ground in the “Big Easy” NOLA, makes it much easier for the aforesaid dead folks to vote.

That and that Marie Laveau chick going around stirring them up.

Badly written article. Uses “guy” interchangeably, so you don’t know who’s shooting at whom. Reporters are so often functionally illiterate.
