I notice that the jusifiable homicides jumped, then dropped. I am not sure if it is statisticly significant, or if robbers are learning that it is a very dangerous business.

“I was scared to death,” Wynn later said, declining to comment further.

A reply every gun owner must memorize.

Score one for our side...

“I was scared to death” is good. The reported last words of “Let’s get it on” add color.

Police arrived to find the gunman, whose identity wasn't released Wednesday, lying on his back in a pool of blood

Sounds like the reporter is an aspiring drama queen.

This story made my day.

"A reply every gun owner must memorize."

The best advice anyone could ever give!

The best part is that this scumbag piece of excrement will never victimize another law abiding human being again.

The reported last words of “Let’s get it on” add color.

"Get THIS on, moron!"

Wynn, who had been robbed before, somehow managed to arm himself with a gun.

Good for the owner. Now about the reporters amazement on how he managed to arm himself....pockets, droors, holsters, closets.....

The sentence seems to suggest that the idea of the owner being able to arm himself was a lucky or amazing occurrence. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.

My post was attempting to quote the pharmacist. The “moron” part was not directed at you. I didn’t post a “/sarc” — LOL!!

One less dumb druggie. Don’t Mess With Texans.

No kidding. How about this nugget of journalistic artistry?

Lindsay Simpkins, a cashier at Martha's Mexican Restaurant, said no one suspected the pharmacy owner — a man with a strong sense of humor — to fatally shoot anyone.

Thanks for making my day, punk.

When’s the protest outside the business planned for? Isn’t that par for the course whenever a pharmacist shoots a “promising young man with so much potential”?
