In Rockledge, Florida, at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, the 25th of November, 2017, two armed citizens stopped a mass murder in progress. Police Chief Joseph P. LaSata of the Rockledge Police Department, made clear the intervention of the armed citizens was responsible for stopping the murderer.
Two employees were shot, one killed, in the parking lot. Then two armed employees intervened. From the transcript of this video from wesh.com:
Matt Lupoli, reporter:
Another employee, a manager, came out with a gun of his own and shot and wounded Baily. That man has not been named, but police say he saved several other lives, customers and employees alike.
Rockledge Chief Joseph Lasata:
Mr. Baily had multiple magazines on his person. He was intent on doing harm. The employees stepped up and prevented customers, employees, and other vendors who were in the business at the time from sustaining further injuries. They did a good job.
The murder suspect, Robert Lorenzo Bailey, Jr, 28, of Cocoa, is in critical condition at the Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melborne. None of his history has been released.The suspect has not been connected to Schlenker Automotive.
The murder and gunfight started in Schlenker's parking lot. The suspect opened fire on a 25 year old employee, paralyzing him. He shot and killed 50 year old Roger Lee Smith, who had been employed at the shop for numerous years, as Smith came out the door to the parking lot. Then two armed employees, who had concealed carry permits, intervened.

Another of Obama’s sons.
The damage Obama did to the USA will be felt for about 50 years, IMO.
Well, mass might be overstating what would have been multiple murders
These numbers come directly from the openly published FBI data bank on violent crime in our nation.
When you post these numbers get ready to be attacked as a racist by the left.
Somehow they have come to believe that quoting proven facts makes a person a racist.
I still have my FL CCW.
Of course, the stupid state of MA doesn’t recognize it.
Can you imagine if, when MA was the first state to sanction “gay mawridge”, if the other 49 states had said...”No Reciprocity!”
It looks like a pacifier. What’s up wit dat??
When conceal carry was first passed in Florida most of our large newspapers told us it would usher in a ‘wild west’ atmosphere in Florida - - so bad tourists would be afraid to come here...
It was before we had the easy term, “fake news’....
Thank God Good Men With Guns are out there protecting all of us.
Will never hear about it in the Fake News media
If Obama had a son
Please tell me you forgot the /sarc....
Bad enough my old schools all turned their AeroEng curricula into Wind "Power" maintenance/sales programs without getting saddled with that goof.
NOt only is Florida a CCCW state, it is a stand your ground state.
If you feel you or others are endangered like this you have every right to shoot.
Too bad these good folks weren’t better shots.
>>The damage Obama did to the USA will be felt for about 50 years, IMO.<<
Slight clarification: The damage Obama did to the USA, thanks to the Democrat Party, will be felt for about 50 years.
>>Well, mass might be overstating what would have been multiple murders<<
Or understating what would have been multiple murders.
Maybe it's one of those "I've fallen and I can't get up" buttons?
It’s an airway.
Along with the hospital gown, I’d say this enterprising young felon was seriously F**ked up by the private citizen.
