PLANTATION -- One gunman is dead and another is in critical condition after they tried to rob a sandwich store and were shot by an armed customer Wednesday night, authorities said.
Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale, and Fredrick Gadson, 21, of Fort Lauderdale, entered a Subway restaurant at 1949 N. Pine Island Rd. and demanded money at gunpoint about 11:17 p.m., said Detective Robert Rettig, a police spokesman.
They then attempted to rob the lone customer, John Lovell, 71, of Plantation, by forcing him into the restroom, but Lovell, who was legally armed, pulled his gun and fired, police said.
Arrindell collapsed at the scene, while a police K9 unit found Gadson hiding in a hedge in front of a nearby bank at the Jacaranda Square shopping center, officials said.
Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center, where Arrindell died.
Gadson was in critical but stable condition, investigators said.
Police said Lovell

In other words, this brave and capable Marine is a *bad guy* because he successfully countered and ended the crime careers of these two goblins, who the same leftmedia pu$$ies would doubtless portray as "victims".
This guy should get a medal. And doom on the criminals and their media enablers.
Yah. And the same goes for ornery USN FMF medics. $;-)
I think you misread. It was a friend who called him a “quiet Clint Eastwood-type you don’t want to mess with.” The reaction of the police is not given.
Thanks for the good news ping.
That Subway became the wrong Oneway for these thugs.
But doom on the bad guys and their media supporters anyway. $:-)
Yeah, holding a pistol sideways gangsta style kinda makes it hard to focus on the front sight.
Nice work. Doing the job the cops and the courts won’t do. Give the guy a case of ammo.
LOL! Perfect.
“”Kathy East, a teacher at Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale, said her son Matthew was a longtime friend of Arrindell and Gadson. The three boys attended Coconut Creek High School together, said East, of North Lauderdale.
Arrindell didn’t graduate but was pursuing his GED, she said.
“I’m absolutely stunned he would have held up a store,” East said.””
This from a clueless educator. She will likely be equally stunned when her own son is one day arrested. Her sons friend Arrindell was a dropout LOSER. It’s the company you keep lady.
Sounds like your neighborhood is a bit safer. Blackbird.
Damn, I love it. I’ve eaten in this subway many times. I used to live right by it. I love it when a Charles Bronson type takes on the cockroaches of the planet. At least one of these little ba$tards will never rob another person.

Surveillance video?
What a specimen!!
I do hope they don't erect one of those inane " shrines " , featuring candles, stuffed animals and signs.
Good weapon, timing, speed, practice and keeping his head.
And in this case, given the shooters age, surprise no doubt, played a big factor here.
The two suspects probably never figured the old guy was armed.

In addition, I believe only one of the suspects were armed in this incident.
“Dyin’ ain’t much of a living.”
Any scoop on the type of firearms involved?
Famous last words....
Ah crap, the ole man’s got a gun. BANG!
