Gun Store Operator Shot to Death 
  Email story to a friend  

A south Jackson gun shop operator has been shot to death. It happened at about 11:45 Tuesday morning in the armed robbery of Gun Works, Incorporated, at 1016 Raymond Road.

A customer found the victim, 30 year old Paul Robinson, with two gunshots to the back. The customer was also robbed.

Eyewitnesses say two young black males went in the store about 11:45 a.m. Shortly after, shots rang out, and the men took off running behind the store and escaped.

Robinson, the store operator, was shot two times in the back and was pronounced dead at Central Mississippi Medical Center about twenty minutes later.

Police spokesman Robert Graham says officers believe the men got away with some guns. They were last seen running north on Casteel Street.

The store is owned by Paul Crechale (cre-shell), of the Crechale Restaurant family. He was out of town, when the shooting happened.

Most surprising of all, they gave the 'race' of the criminals.

So when these guys end up in court, their lawyer will scream profiling. This sounds like a job for Cochrane & Sharpton.

That's because it's local, not national, media. The locals are locals because they make mistakes like stating the race of criminals who are from a 'favored' minority group.

Not sure they made much mention about the victim being white - sounds like a HATE crime to me.

Rule #1 - Don't turn your back to the counter if the just-arrived "customers" make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. A mistake usually made only once.

The first black Mayor of Jackson is visiting today. He will tell the local NAACP how Jackson is much safer today because of all of the black politicos now in charge. He refuses to fly the state flag at his courthouse and they will open the meeting today with the "Black National Anthem". Tolerance is for whites, intolerance is for anything that is for equality or white ethnicity.
