Store owner has been in jail for 2 years without bond awaiting trial for murder. He is being held in a different county jail due to concerns for his safety. Chased "teen" who apparently didn't steal anything and shot him in the back. Store owner had shot one previous shoplifter and shot at another. Store is in really bad neighborhood. "Teen" who was shot was apparently armed.

The wholesale price of a bottle of water might be twenty-five to thirty-five cents, but by rough estimate, the loss of the business, the legal bills, and two years in county jail ended up costing a little bit more than a quarter.

Fourteen is not a *child*.

Some fourteen year olds are pretty mature physically.

A THIEF IS A THIEF IS A THIEF

THE IS STEP one in a trail to worse behavior.

NONE of these bleeding hearts have had to keep their inventory from getting stolen.

NOT this kid’s first bad behavior-—AND HE WAS ARMED.

THAT CHANGES THE STORY COMPLETELY FOR ME

Shouldn’t have shot him in the back, running away, no matter if he was armed or not,

14-y-o teenagers are not legally allowed to own or possess a handgun.

There's more to the story than is being reported.
