And the police pursuit didn't hurt. Robbery suspect shot 8 times by store clerk after fleeing from Palm Coast to Georgia
He robbed a convenience store in Flagler County, Florida, of $90, and took off heading for Georgia. Because of a detailed F*c*book post, the police knew where he was headed. Florida Highway Patrol, and St. Johns County sheriffs pursued him into Georgia.
Once Jordan got to Georgia, the Camden County Sheriff’s Office took over the pursuit, and the Kingsland Police Department put out "stop sticks" on I-95 and the vehicle came to a halt. Jordan then fled on foot.
He entered a nearby convenience store, brandished a firearm, and demanded the clerk’s car keys. He then took the clerk’s vehicle and started to flee but somehow managed to crash the vehicle through the front of the convenience store.
But by that time the store clerk had retrieved a weapon of his own, so when the bad-guy came back in the store, he was prepared.
He then got out of the vehicle and chased the clerk and a customer through the store and a struggle ensued. But the clerk, who was now armed, shot the suspect "approximately eight times," according to Georgia authorities. He was taken into custody and transported to a hospital in critical condition.
There are more details, including a nice "thank you" from the Flagler County sheriff to the store clerk. Click thru.
What was he shooting with, a .22 short?
ReplyDeleteThe clerk s lucky to be alive but needs to spend some time at the range. Eight shots and the democrat still managed to survive. That's ridiculous.
