Re: Houston Family Dollar Robbery
I understand what you are saying and don't disagree with you. I would find It difficult to start shooting at the BGS even if he had a gun to her head. For LEO's that train for these situations and like yourself that have faced these situations, it may be an easier decision as your training kicks in. I don't have the benifit of your training or experience so I know I would take a more conservative approach right or wrong.

My sympathies are likewise with the family of the clerk and the CHL.Keith B wrote:Too many variables here to try and speculate. The only ones who know what happened there are the clerk (now deceased) the CHL and the two BG's. If there is video, then maybe we will be able to tell why this or that did or didn't happen, but until that time Monday morning armchair quarterbacking is fruitless.Bob in Big D wrote:How did the BGS lock the door and then the CHL not be able to unlock it to get away? Unless the clerk had the key in the door and the BGS took it.
At that point I would draw my weapon but not fire unless the BGS shot someone or came at me. Like in this scenario it is hard to see a clear shot with the adrenalin pumping unless you have lots of training IMHO.
My sympathies go to the clerks family and to the CHL holder who has to come to terms with his actions and the decision made.
I just don't think it was a wise move to be aggressive and take the shot(s) in this situation. Hard to say if the BGS would have killed anyone or were just threatening. Until they actually start shooting or come after me, I will be a better witness in a defensive position.
