TUCSON- A convenience store clerk who was stabbed early Friday morning has died from his injuries. According to Sergeant Chris Widmer with Tucson Police, 22-year-old Erick Bridges passed away Saturday afternoon. Bridges was stabbed at the AM/PM at 7601 E. Tanque Verde around 1 a.m. Friday.

The suspect is described as a thin white and Hispanic man in his 20s, 5-feet-8 inches. He was wearing a grey "hoodie" and jeans and had a dark backpack. Anyone with information is urged 9-1-1 or 88-CRIME.

Information has it the young man had turned his life around after some major difficulties, had cleaned up his act, was working and saving money to move back to Texas to be with family. He constantly told the drug dealers to get out of the store. Apparently, one drug leader put a hit out on him and the Hispanic vaulting over the counter to stab Eric did the job. Now, if the perp were to have killed an LEO or a Federal government employee, he would already be in custody.

It would be nice if the government would focus more on domestic crime than wars overseas, outrageous concern over conservative values, attempts to restrict private ownership of weapons (which partially resulted in Eric's death since he was unarmed) and get the job done finding, trying and executing criminals who commit these murders.

It looks to me like government is the enemy instead of the protector. Please FR friends, if ANYONE in the Tuscon area can shed some light on this case, please help by giving that information to law enforcement there and give them a chance to prove they can catch this guy. He killed my friend.

Our Federal government, all three departments, have never found a criminal they cannot favor-especially a double law breaker like the alien killing the clerk. Our national government is becoming the enemy of all decent people.(Note: “Becoming” is a process not a steady state.)

I hate reading about this stuff. There should be a LAW that ALL store owners be armed, with the gun placed under the register where it shall be easily accessed. But no, in fact the exact opposite is the law so subhuman pieces of pig vomit like this wetback kills with no absolutely opposition.

Arizona...Hispanic male..So it isn’t that far a stretch to assume this killer is an illegal? So let me get this straight: Our twice unconstitutionally elected admitted foreign born President wants to disarm the public. Yet he gives guns to Mexican drug gangs and allows them waltz into the country completely unopposed. So much so, that if a state like Arizona tries to enforce it’s immigration laws, he sues that state to prevent it. Excuse me if I am wrong, but isn’t that TREASON? An impeachable offense? Willfully and knowingly putting the lives of the people at risk?

Thanks. The top of Eric’s head is in the photo. Makes me so mad I can’t see straight. No need to say what would have happened had I been there. Would not have gotten involved in the argument, but sure would have stopped the aggression permanently right when it started. What a tragedy.

I can’t even imagine how you must feel looking at this photo. What a senseless act. I am sending prayers that justice is swift and also asking for strength for those that Eric left behind.
