On Friday, 16 March, about 2 p.m. in Aurora, Colorado, an armed robber victimized a small grocery run by an Ethiopian immigrant. In the barber shop next door, the barbers heard a scream, then a shot, then two more shots. One of the barbers grabbed his gun and went out the door. Outside he entered into a gunfight with the robbery suspect. From the portrayal of the other barber, it appears the armed Samaritan used cover and concealment.  Several shots were fired. The armed robbery suspect was wounded and ran off.

Video of interview from the scene

From auroragov.org:

It is believed that the female victim is the owner of the grocery store and that she sustained her injuries during a robbery of the business. The female was transported to a local hospital where she currently remains in serious but stable condition.

During the investigation, officers determined that a Good Samaritan confronted the robbery suspect outside of the grocery store and the Good Samaritan shot the suspect. The suspect then fled the area.

A short time later, officers made contact with an adult male who was suffering from a gunshot wound in the area of South Joliet Street and East Garden Drive. Officers believe that the male was the robbery and shooting suspect who had fled from the area of the grocery store. The male was placed in custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The Barber (not the Armed Samaritan) in the video told the interviewer that the suspect fired at the Armed Samaritan. That tidbit is in the video,

Colorado has some pretty bad gun laws, and some pretty bad people in positions of authority.

I don’t doubt for a second that if they choose to do so the Good Samaritan will be punished severely.

This is just horrible, because of that other gun, now there are two victims!

Has CNN asked David Hogg for his opinion on this Gun Violence?? I’ll go check

I don’t doubt for a second that if they choose to do so the Good Samaritan will be punished severely.

Here ion California, he would most likely be charged since he was the aggressor when he walked outside with a Gun and was never personally threatened beforehand.
