NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man was shot in the arm Saturday night while trying to steal two cases of beer from a gas station convenience store.

Metro police said officers with the Hermitage Precinct responded to reports of a shooting at a Shell gas station located in the 1500 block of Lebanon Pike at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, June 22. When officers arrived, they found a 26-year-old man – who had been shot in the forearm – walking down the street.

The officers tried to talk to him, but he tried to get away. He was eventually stopped and taken to a hospital for treatment of his gunshot wound, according to investigators.

Police said a gas station employee told detectives that the man who was shot was trying to steal two cases of beer along with another man, prompting the employee to follow the two men to the parking lot to try and get the beer back. That’s when the men allegedly assaulted the employee, causing a customer to try and intervene.

The customer reportedly had a gun and tired to hit the 26-year-old man with it. The gun then went off and hit the 26-year-old man in the arm, according to police. The customer with the gun then left the store.

Police found the other man, 33, walking down the street. He had two outstanding warrants for criminal trespassing and was arrested on those warrants.

It will be interesting to see if there are any charges against the armed Samaritan. I suspect there will not be any charges.

Thanks to MADD, he was probably shot for not showing ID before he left the store with the beer.

Always go for one case and use the free arm for deflecting bullets. Seen it a thousand times.

It’s the kinda message everyone needs to hear. Overdoing it but it’s really a message to everyone else. So how does it apply to illegal voting?

What brand of beer was he trying to steal? Not that it really matters.

So now that the Government has declared gun violence a public health emergency in U.S. and crime is running out of control it seems like a good time for the Democrats to seize control of the US. Maybe invite the UN to come in and “restore law and order”.

Sounds about right. The World Economic Foundation can send in advisors on which bugs to eat and how to prepare them.

The economy needed a shot in the arm.

Maybe the shooter thought he saw a case of Bud Light with some weirdo dude wearing a woman’s dress.

That would be a very traumatic thing to see.
