Near as I can tell a man in a car pulled into a gas station at the pumps, did not turn the car off, but then bolted from the car, running. He ran into the street where he was hit by a passing car so violently that it ripped his pants off. Then as he was laying there in the street, a man walked up with a sawed off shot gun and shot him 4 times in the face.

I am guessing that the man was a passenger in his car and was the reason he ran from the car he was driving.

RIP

Quite a crowd gathered to watch the police investigation. Many people in Hoverrounds or those motorized chairs. Several people fainted with one being taken in an ambulance. She was believed to be the mans mother.

No parent should have to witness this.

Article adds new more confusing information that was not in the newscast last night.

Always carry.

It's devastating to think that this man knew it was coming and tried so frantically to escape. I can't imagine his anguish and feeling of helplessness when he was struck by the car that sealed his fate.

Be willing to bet drug-related.

:iagree: how dumb is the shooter? He should of settled with the car hitting the guy. Probably all happened for less than $100 worth of poison.

So, was it an assault rifle or a sawed off shotgun? Article mentions both. Not that I believe for a second that it was an actual assault weapon. :banghead:

America does NOT have a gun problem, America has a gang problem. And the vast majority of gang activity is fueled by illegal street drugs. But its very politically incorrect to take on the gangs, I guess. Easier for crook politicians to attack the rights of law-abiding citizens.
