Maybe he thought people in Seattle were not armed. Armed robber shot and killed by Ballard smoke shop employee | KOMO
Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said a 29-year-old man attempted to rob the business at gunpoint and shot an employee. The 38-year-old employee returned fire, fatally striking the 29-year-old. The suspect was found dead outside the business.
The article calls the guy who defended himself both an employee of the store, and the store owner. Whatever his employment status, he was shot. Community members came to his aid to help stop the bleeding until police arrived. He was take to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
Washington State has a long history of recognizing your right to defend yourself. (Hat tip to Concealed Nation.)
Well it is a *smoke* shop. That could be used as clue #A
ReplyDeleteI thought about that, but I think in this day of legal pot they would have called it a dispensary not a smoke shop.
