An employee at a Family Dollar in Arizona was arrested for fatally shooting a shoplifter who slugged him in the face when the worker asked him to leave, reports said.
The employee, Kevin Salas Madrid, encountered the alleged serial shoplifter inside the Phoenix store near 68th Avenue and Indian School Road just before 8 p.m. Wednesday and warned the suspect to stop stealing and exit the dollar store, according to KTVK/KPHO.
The pair then began arguing when the shoplifter punched Madrid in the face, at which point the store worker pulled a gun and opened fire, the outlet reported. He allegedly shot the suspect 10 times and continued to unleash bullets even as the man was on the floor, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

Put me on that jury.
But still NOT GUILTY.
Guilty of manslaughter, 10 years, suspend the sentence.
Lots of Phoenix shoplifters moving to Tucson.
She should get a medal for taking out the trash.
Sounds like a taxpayer relief shot to me.
Most of Indian School Road is pretty nasty. I thought it got better by the time you get that far west, though.
10 shots? Overkill, so to speak…
Son, I like the way you think!
> Police reportedly described in a probable cause statement that Madrid “stated he had made the worst decision of his life.” <
Rule #1: Do not talk to the police. Instead ask for a lawyer.
Rule #2: Memorize Rule #1.
Watch the greaseball slimes in the “justice system” go after this lower-class worker FULL BLAST - while continuing to encourage other shoplifters to flout the “law”...
All she needs is more range time, it’s fixable.
Kevin Salas Madrid is a man with long hair, not a woman.
Oops I didn’t see the pic.
Yeah, me too.
If you punch someone in the face, maybe the victim’s normal thought processes are negatively affected for a minute or two.
Look at it another way-—if someone is deranged enough to punch me over some Dollar Store crap, it is not unreasonable to think he might kill me over it.
10 times?
Folks, when you get your CC permit, move your shots around on the target quite a bit.
Then it’s believable in court when you dump one in his eye socket and say you were going for center-mass...
Is it legal anywhere is the U.S. for someone punched in the face to empty his gun on the assailant? Maybe if he were on the ground and repeated blows kept coming, but, otherwise, no imo.
Self defense is now manslaughter?
