Then he was charged with a crime. Charges filed against man shot by manager during Murray jewelry store robbery | KSL
On Nov. 25, two men walked into Sierra-West Jewelers, 6190 S. State. One man "was wearing a long black wig, and the other had a scruffy brown wig, fake mustache and beard," according to charging documents. Both were wearing dark jackets and matching black and red plaid pants.
As the assistant manager asked if he could help, Villegas "pulled a gun," the charges state. The manager attempted to press the silent alarm, but Villegas pulled him to the middle of the floor.
In the struggle that ensued, the assistant manager was able to pull his concealed weapon, and several shots were fired. (Click thru for the details; they are complicated.)
Not long after the men drove away, a man with a gunshot wound to his abdomen was dropped off at an urgent care center in Sandy. Employees at the clinic called the police. Villegas was transferred to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray for further treatment. He was released over the weekend and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail.
The other guy has not been indentified.
Oh, and it turns out he is a "citizen of Venezuela" and has an immigration detainer.
Self-defense is a human right. (Hat tip to Concealed Nation: VIDEO: Jewelry Store Robbery Attempt in Murray Ends with Manager Firing Back)
