<broken link removed>

the story is a little vague still but I'll go out on a limb and suggest a guy with a ccw. I wonder if the good guy will get fired for violating work weapons policy?

Should bury the tard in a U-Haul box and fly a packing blanket at half mast in his honor.

'Apparent shooting'? How can you have an 'apparent shooting'? Either a firearm was discharged or it wasn't. Sound of a gun going off? More than likely to be the sound of a gun going off, right?

Good ending. Too bad a lot more of these don't end this way. If guy does get fired for it at least he is alive to go find another job.

Could title it:

Apparently a robber was shot. Non robbers all went home.

That'd sound to positive though...

Let's work on it for some type of "spin"...

I like the comments.... Lol

Detectives are reviewing 9-1-1 tapes and video surveillance tapes, and an autopsy will be completed to determine the suspect's cause of death.

No S***, Sherlock? So a guy waltzes into a U-Haul office, 100% alive and nasty.

A gun 'allegedly' goes off, and said guy leaves the premise to ER with a hole in him that wasn't there when he entered.

I'd like to think that the hole in him came from a foaty-farve, but that's just me and wishful thinking and almost fifty years shooting Mr Colt's iconic ol' slabsider.

Cause of death:
Sudden and dramatic onset of acute lead poisoning ...
Maybe I can be the next Quincy or Columbo....

I heard about this attempted robbery during my morning commute. Apparently they are now "investigating". Investigating what? How to throw the poor guy in jail?

They are obviously checking to see if the California border somehow crept northward 300 miles over night. Can't be to careful.

"The purpose of the investigation is to find out what occurred and to look at state laws to see if there were any violations of those laws," Burley said.

So, investigating to see if armed robbery is in violation of state law?

He was just turning his life around.

Dr. Quinn maybe?

He was just turning his life around.

He loved to make people laugh, and had a smile that just lit up the room (insert image of 12-year old boy)

U-Haul lives matter!

I say good on the employee!! He will have to live with that the rest of his life but at least he has a life to live!

Quiet out there . . . The powers-that-be are trying their very best to find something they can hang on the good guy with the gun!!!!
If they do it will be front page news . . . Otherwise . . . SILENCE!!!!!

Never-the-less, as in the recent snowflake thread that was shut down, I really love a happy ending!!!!!!!

Whenever I was threatened, I always responded with the most extreme violence within my capability.

You will notice that I am the one that is still here.
