Robber Holds Knife to Clerk’s Neck, Gets Shot Dead by Store Customer
Breitbart ^ | 16 Jul 2022 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/16/2022 11:40:15 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

A 26-year-old man who allegedly held a knife to a gas station clerk’s neck in St. Charles, Missouri, was shot and killed Saturday morning by a store customer.

FOX 2 Now reports that the incident occurred around 3 a.m. and that police indicated the suspect was traveling in a black SUV that had been stolen on July 15.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that the alleged robber entered the store and “announced a robbery.” He then allegedly put a knife to the clerk’s throat and demanded money from the cash register.

At one point during the incident a customer who had just exited the store looked through the window and saw the suspect allegedly dragging the clerk “while she was screaming.”

The customer grabbed a pistol from his vehicle, went inside, and confronted the suspect.

The suspect then allegedly walked toward the customer, holding a backpack in outstretched arms and saying, “I have something for you.”

The customer opened fire and the suspect collapsed.

Robber driving a stolen car...I suspect the customer stopped a one-man crime wave.

What’s with “allegedly”? The only police report will come from the living, not the dead.

In a blue state “Good Sam” would be under arrest.

No doubt. Even In Missouri the McCloskys have to deal with a Marxist DA. Hope this guy lives in a normal city.

Hero.

I live in Blue PA, in most of our state, he would be a hero, certainly here in NWPA. In Filthadelphia, the shooter would be up on charges.

Good point. This “allegedly” stuff has gotten out of control.

I love happy endings. Thank you to our founders for the 2nd amendment, and thank you President Trump for the conservative Supreme Court.

At my home in SoCal, the customer would be Arrested and Prosecuted, at my home in AZ the Sheriff would buy him lunch and maybe give him a Medal and Good Citizen Award, at my home in Henderson(Vegas) the Police would publicly thank him and clamor to have their picture taken with him.
