An armed robber is dead after owners of a Wichita pharmacy fight back. GOOD FOR THEM! It happened at the Salyer Pharmacy near 21st Street N. & Broadway around eleven o'clock Saturday morning.
One of Salyer's owners says a man in his 20's walked in using a fake name and asked if his prescription was ready.That's when he pulled outa handgun, pointed it at the owner,and demanded Loritabs and other drugs.
At that point, he says his business partner ran to the back of the store, grabbed a shotgun, andyelled at the thief to drop his gun.FAIR WARNING...The suspect turned his gun on the armed owner, STUPID! and that's when the owner shot him in the head. IT WAS EITHER HIM OR THE CRIMINAL GOING HOME, AND THE OWNER MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
Police say the man was pronounced dead on the scene.NO SURPRISE, CONSIDERING SHOTGUN SHELLS TO THE HEAD. Owners say this is the first robbery attempt they've had in at least 10 years. PROBABLY WILL BE 20 YEARS UNTIL THE NEXT ONE ONCE THIS STORY GETS AROUND.
The Sedgwick County District Attorney's office will make a final review of the case and decide if charges are filed. Salyer's owners say since the shooting was in self-defense, detectives told them it's likely to be classified asa justifiable homicide. HOPEFULLY THEY COME TO THE CORRECT DECISION! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF WHAT SELF DEFENSE IS ALL ABOUT.
