COLUMBIA, SC (WIS-TV) - Two concealed weapons holders who were victims of an armed robbery at a Columbia barbershop shot and killed one of the suspects on Friday night.

The Colombia Police Department responded to an armed robbery call at "Next Up Barber and Beauty" in the 4400 block of Fort Jackson Blvd shortly before 7 p.m.

Several people, including children, were inside the business when two armed men wearing masks demanded and stole money from them.

Two of the victims with valid concealed weapons permits shot at both suspects, hitting one of them. The wounded suspect ran from the barbershop and collapsed outside.

He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead by medical staff a short time later, according to police.

I hope it was a black barber shop. They deserve self protection too. Glad the children weren’t hurt.

Liberalism is a disconnect with reality and a mental illness.

Stated another way, the left sees the world the way they wish it to be, the right sees the world the way it is.

Hmmm....invading a barber shop with evil intent & all the patrons in the barber chairs are covered to the chin.

Darwin nominations here.

Heck, there was an Untouchables episode where gunmen burst into a barber shop & are gunned down by bodyguards with Thompson SMGs under the barber sheets.

that was “Code of Silence”, a Chuck Norris movie. It also sprouted one of my favorite movie lines: “which one is the Rocket Scientist that planned this?”

THAT’S IT! As I remember, he asked if anyone called the Desk Sergeant and was told he laughed and hung up.
