A Queens liquor store owner was arrested after “accidentally” shooting one of two alleged robbers who entered his store Monday around 7:45 p.m.

The New York Post reported that two 20-year-old men, Kevin Pullutasi and Edwin Poaquiza, entered Franja Wines and Liquors and allegedly tried to steal some alcohol.

Fifty-three-year-old Francisco Valerio and his brother were able to force the suspects out of the business “but Pullutasi turned back around and the argument got physical.”

At this point, Valerio pulled a 9mm handgun, which he claimed he intended to use to pistol whip Pullutasi. However, Valerio ended up shooting Pullutasi in the stomach.

Valerio indicated “that he accidentally shot [Pullutasi],” according to prosecutors.

Never ever talk to the police. They are not on your side.

You beat me to it. The shop owner evidently told the cops he was going to pistol whip one of the robbers. The robber certainly would deserve it. But the comment will probably sink the owner.

After all, it’s NYC.

And for those who haven’t seen it, here’s an excellent video by a law school professor. Informative and not dull for a moment.

He accidentally shot him in the stomach. He actually intended to shoot him in the head.

Pistol whip? What kind of garbage is that? A pistol is a firearm. It is intended to fire lead into an opponent. It stays in your holster until you need it to save your life.

Didn’t the owner know that the politicians have given lowlifes permission to waltz right in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors”?

I guess it’s difficult to pull off an SSS (shoot, shovel, shut up) in the City.
