That is not in the facts. He was reaching in his pocket according to witnesses or maybe as told by the shooter. They have not said what was in those pockets. Hopefully someone had their phone out and was recording or that the restaurant has surveillance cameras.

Maybe you would feel safer on Mars.

Seriously, TV is one of the safest communities in the country. Some people don't know when they have it good.

There is no place in America where some level of crime doesn't happen.

If you find a safer place besides Mars, let us know.

Facts have not been published.

Based on "stories", pretty quick trigger finger.

:ho:

Why isn’t the information getting out on this Thwarted Attempted Robbery ?

The Sun doesn't report bad news.

According to the information available, there were shots fired outside prior to the shooting. In the parking lot? If the shooter reasonably believed that he or others present risked life or great bodily harm when the person killed entered the restaurant and reached for his pocket, then at this point it would appear to be a justified shooting.

Stress "at this point". There is still a lot we don't know and that may be a completely wrong assumption. But if this story proceeds along the lines of most others of this nature, we can be assured that The Court of Public Opinion will have one side or the other tried, convicted and hung quite a long time before we know the complete story.

They have a bar

I haven’t seen nothing yet
Wait until the apartment complexes are completed tens of thousands of non-retirees. The villages will be easy pickings

I thought guns were not allowed at places that sell alcohol. It may have been a good shoot, but the shooter could still be in trouble for it. I hope for his sake the the deceased had a gun.

In a larger city, the chief of police would be on television with more details of this shooting. Just saying.

Not exactly. Applebees is primarily a restaurant, but they do have a bar. You can carry a firearm into a restaurant, but you cannot bring it into the bar area. You are only prohibited from carrying a firearm in an establishment whose primary purpose is to sell alcohol.

Yes, until 1am. Perkins is open until midnight. Margarita Republic is open until 2 am. Surprised me, too. I thought everything around here closed down around 8. But I wouldn’t want to go to any of them at that hour if that’s the sort of clientele they draw.

Very few facts have been released on the shooting. I am guessing that the man who was shot was carrying a gun and who knows what he was saying or how he was acting.

Begs the question, WHY?

My point is that this is a retirement community. Or am i in a fantasy land believing that?! I understand every city in the U.S. is ridden with crime. Just seems to me we should not have people shot dead in a community of retirees.
