A 57-year-old father and grandfather stopped off on his way home from work Monday night to fill a grocery list his wife left for him that morning.
But after entering the Dollar General at 1921 Dunn Ave., he was thrust into an armed robbery that ended with him firing his weapon and one of the two robbers lying dead on the floor.
Two men entered the store about 9:20 p.m., both with handguns, said Lt. Rob Schoonover of the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office.
One of them had the clerk and one of them was at the front cash register, Schoonover said.

The customer, who had a concealed firearms permit and a firearm, fired at the suspect, striking him apparently two times, killing him, Schoonover said.

I casually told the young manager that he could feel just a little safer if I was around and don’t be surprised at anything I may do in a ‘bad situation’, he just had to casually keep their attention.
I made it clear I really wouldn’t act to save their money but if it got ‘personal’ to anyone, Stand By and be ready to duck....
“Police are trained to keep firing until the threat is on the ground and no longer acting like a threat.”
Two to the chest, one to the head. Dead.
“...if 0 had a pair...”
Probably turned into somebody’s turkey fries in a Nebraska bar long ago...
good point (as was his)
