"Amazing that descriptions of the 3 shooters were not given.

I use that gas gas station all the time as I often go to Leesburg. I like it because it is less crowded than Lake Deaton. It is is kind of a sketchy area but it is a wide open place so I have always felt I would have time to see trouble approaching.
Proprietor is a friendly guy, not that that is relevant.

They are probably no where near here now.

Yeah, I heard they flew in from South Dakota just for this.:rolleyes:

These incidents have occurred in different areas and Beverly Hills was featured very recently when 3 perps walked across a gas station lot to a guy who was standing there, threatened him and robbed him. If you watched this video in Leesburg, the guys came strolling across the lot.

Blow it off if it suits you. Normal, thanks for the heads up.

I appreciate the info too. My dermatologist has their main office just down the street and sometimes I stop in at Walmart on my way to an appointment.

Yeah, vulnerable old people are perfect targets when they are so obtuse. It's becoming a thing and one must think thugs don't watch the news..

I looked carefully where this Walmart location is. It is the same one I wrote about years ago when husband wanted to quickly go around TV to go to a Walmart. There is designated police parking right in front. We have never been to a Walmart where it was necessary to designate parking spots for police. We went in the store - once, never again. Husband decided the long way in TV was ok with him afterwards.

One can find the same designated police parking, at shopping malls, hospitals, and clinics. The VA clinic in Mulberry has 3 reserved parking spaces for police parking. Walmart is just one of many retail that have reserve spots, in every state that we have worked in.

I wouldn’t give the OP a hard time for his post. I think it’s good to alert people that something bad happened at a location near us so we can think twice about going to that area.
These 3 guys were on foot so they can be close by, and I bet these guys are pretty dumb that do this during the day and in front of cameras.

Lots of assumptions here. They could have easily bought a ride on a city bus to somewhere else or called in a friend to take them somewhere else.

Or taken someone else's vehicle which has not been reported as yet.

Why did this warning make me laugh out loud.
Them perps are long gone from that gas station. And they are waiting as I might drive towards downtown Leesberg?
Your paranoia is showing or are you just trolling?

Thank you for the information.

Weird, no suspect descriptions...

Officers responded around 2:40 p.m. to a shooting reported at the Citgo along West Main Street, where it was determined three suspects had approached the vehicle — two on the passenger’s side and one on the driver’s side — before the shooting occurred.
A confrontation began and the suspect on the driver’s side then shot the man before all three suspects ran away, police said. The victim was hospitalized and underwent surgery Saturday night, according to a news release.

The 3 have not been apprehended so stay on your toes if you travel in the direction of the Leesburg Walmart or towards its downtown area.

Suspects at large after 87-year-old man shot in Leesburg, police say

I saw the video. Horrifying! Wide open area at a gas station in Leesburg, three young guys in black hoodies on a hot Florida day walk up to a guy sitting in his car while pumping gas, apparently to rob him, and the guy talking to him shoots him. Then they run like wild dogs. I’ve bought gas there before. Are they long gone? I doubt it. They are probably Leesburg residents. I hope they are quickly caught and put down, one way or another. This didn’t happen in The Villages. It’s about twenty minutes from where I live here. But lots of us drive through there or stop there.
