Suspect Killed During Video Store Robbery Posted: 6:34 a.m. EST March 19, 2002

ORANGE CITY, Fla. -- A suspect in the robbery of a video store in Orange City was shot and killed Tuesday night.

It happened at the Blockbuster store along Enterprise Road just before midnight, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.

The father of one of the employees was inside the store at the time and pulled his weapon during the robbery attempt, officials said.

Police said the father opened fire, killing a 19-year-old suspect. A second suspect was injured in the gunfire.

The dead suspect was also an employee at the store, and the store was robbed about 30 days ago, officials said.

Police reported they believe the shooting was justified.

More info: Father had concealed permit, was carrying after store had been robbed a few weeks earlier. Father should not be charged.

WAY TO GO MR. DAD!! I wonder how this would pan out in Boston?

[b4its2late]

Good. More scum off the street.

More info: bad guys were two black males.

The dead suspect was also an employee at the store

Darwin candidate?

"Father should not be charged."

SHOULD not be charged?

If some local DA thinks he should, and does, Dad will own a small piece of FL.

One question, however.

Was it Blockbuster video that banned guns from their stores sometime back?

[randog]

bad guys were two black males.

Yeah, it stated that in the article (by not stating that in the article).

[donozark]

Yes. BB Video is anti RKBA.

Father to thug: "hey, this is Blockbuster. Go ahead, make my day."

[elwoodp]

These folks just never tire of profiling themselves, do they?

When do you think that what we are constantly reminded is "the majority of blacks" is going to stand up and denounce their own little, tiny minority of miscreants? Or, do the "majority of blacks" know something the mainstream media is fighting like heck to keep from the majority of the rest of us? Like, maybe, America's black community has largely become a veritable cesspool of violently destructive (and costly -- to white taxpayers, that is)behavior?

Nah, I guess I'm wrong -- no matter what the crime, illegitimacy, and welfare figures say.

Neal Boortz's comments:

YEE --- HAAAA. ANOTHER PREDATOR BITES THE DUST!

This one happened in the Orlando area just before midnight last night. Two predators – armed predators – thought it would be a good idea to rob a Blockbuster Video in Orange City. They arrived at the Blockbuster at about the same time as the father of one of the clerks working in the store. The father thought that something might not be quite right when he saw one of the predators walking into the store with a rifle.

So --- here’s your situation. Father arrives at Blockbuster to pick up his son at when the store closes. Father sees predators with guns entering store. Father realizes his son is inside that store. Father has a gun. Father also has a concealed weapons permit. Father follows predators into the store. End result? One dead predator and another with a gaping, sucking chest wound. Father is safe, as is son.

A civilian with a concealed weapons permit very likely saves his own sons life. Gotta tell you … I just LOVE it when the day starts with a story like this.

Although I hate so say it, but nah, you are not wrong.

This is a great story where the U.S. citizen efficiently handles the job, unlike the F.B.I. cowboy wannabee out on the east coast who shoots a good kid because the car is red.

Reminds me of airport security - the feds will do nothing but jeopardize the country's safety, while the private citizen really handles the situations that get real results.

Don't get me wrong, we need an F.B.I. and strong law at times, but we don't need a bunch of dupes in charge. Wish "W" had a meter to detect all the clinton cronies so he could fire them all at once.

[Lil'freeper]

Yes! There ought to be some kind of public recognition of these folks. Society might begin to realize what a wonderful service they render.

[catonsville]

Was it Blockbuster video that banned guns from their stores sometime back?

Yes, and it was straight out of a bad western. My local Blockbuster store had a sign on the door that no one carrying a gun will be allowed it the store.

Nobody has robbed the store so I guess the sign worked.:-)

Sign is now gone.

What really bugs me is when I hear America is a violent society
BS Eliminate black and even Hispanic crime statistics and America is OK. But people are afraid to say it.

Another thing is when professional athletes are caught up in the crime scene we hear " they only reflect society in general "

MORE BS They reflect the black culture in America not America in general

There ought to be some kind of public recognition of these folks.

I agree, some sort of Public Sevice Beyond the Call of Duty award

If this is true then Blockbuster should be sued as well!

Blockbuster robbery suspect killed, another wounded

Staff report

ORANGE CITY -- A robbery suspect was shot and killed inside the Blockbuster Video Store here late Monday while a second suspect is hospitalized with a gunshot wound in the chest, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Wince

Bennett

An employee's father who was waiting outside the store to pick up his son from work shot the suspects, the Sheriff's Office reported.

The attempted robbery occurred at about 11:45 p.m. Monday evening at the Blockbuster on Enterprise Road.

The robbery suspect who died is identified as 19-year-old James Wince of Deltona. Wince was armed with a rifle during the attempted robbery and was an employee at the Blockbuster store, Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. The wounded suspect is identified as 18-year-old Darius Bennett, also of Deltona.

Investigators are preparing a murder charge against Bennett because his involvement in the robbery led to Wince's death.

Bennett is listed in stable condition in the intensive care unit at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach.

The employee's father, 50-year-old Robert Shockey, was armed with a .45-caliber handgun. He witnessed the robbery attempt and fired three shots at the suspects. Two bullets struck Wince and one hit Bennett, Davidson said.

The same Blockbuster store was robbed Jan. 24 while Wince was working at the time.

.45 to the rescue bump.
