Texans Are Still Armed

Robbers are still getting shot. DK store clerk shoots suspect during alleged robbery attempt in Northeast El Paso

An initial investigation by police found that "a subject walked into the store and demanded money, displayed a weapon, showed a weapon in his waistband," Gomez said. The type of weapon was not disclosed.

At that time, the clerk then brandished his gun and "during that exchange, the clerk did fire at least once, striking the person," Gomez said. There were two other customers inside the store at the time of the shooting.

Since this took place in Texas, I say the odds are good that one of the customers may have also been armed.

The guy who got shot was taken to University Medical Center of El Paso. He was stable.

All I can say is that he must have believed that DK stores (convenience stores in El Paso) forbid their employees from being armed. Either that or he thought he was in New Jersey.
