Let's get it on - the San Antonio pharmacy shootout?

[SmithEC]

This from SA News (San Antonio) today. This guy's robbing skills suck (sucked). He is no longer alive, just so you know.


Police Chief William McManus said the suspect handed an employee behind the counter a note that demanded the narcotic drug OxyContin. The chief said the employee was somehow able to alert the pharmacy's owner, who retrieved his gun and confronted the suspect.

"The suspect saw his gun, and said, 'Let's get it on,'" McManus said.

The owner, who saw a cocked revolver in the suspect's hand, pointed his gun at the suspect and shot him point-blank, McManus said. Only the owner, his wife, an employee and the robbery suspect were inside the store at the time of the shooting, according to authorities.

The chief said no charges would be filed against the owner, who was not immediately identified.

I just heard the pharmacist has been charged with first degree murder.

I just heard the pharmacist has been charged with first degree murder.

That won't happen in Texas.

The one in OK City has been charged because the security tape aledgedly shows the pharmacist shoot one in the head and chase another out the door, then return and put his gun down. So far, so good.

But the police then aledge that the tape shows the pharmacist got another gun and emptied it into the unconcious robber lying on the floor. The second shooting is the basis of the charge.

I have a friend going to school to be a pharmacist... about 2 years ago he was working at a CVS pharmacy Near Wilkes Barre PA and some guy came in and handed him a similar note (except wanting 3 or 4 different meds). The note said he had a gun, but my friend didn't see it. As the manager was getting the meds for the guy, my friend stood there for a minute or so just going over the guys physical description in his head. The guy got his meds, left, and a while later the cops showed up and took my friends statement.

A few days later, my friend was called to the police station to look at some photos. They asked if he'd be comfortable looking at pictures of a dead guy (my friend said yes).

Sure enough it was the guy who robbed him a few days earlier... he overdosed on all the meds he stole.

Yet another happy ending....

Sorry, It is the OK pharm and not Texas.

Looking at the TV tapes of the OKC incident, it appears that pharmacist is in some deep doo.

His lawyer is going to have a difficult time and better hope for a friendly jury.

If the pharmhand keeps his mouth shut and has a good lawyer, he still has a chance. There were more than one? He doesn't know how many? He doesn't know how incapacitated the bad guy down is? Plenty of people have been killed by perps they have already shot. Until the situation is fully under control and all the BG's have been cuffed, an argument could be made for making sure that each BG available is dead, so that he won't kill you while you're reacting to the one (?) remaining one.

Now, if each BG had presented a notarized affidavit promising that he wouldn't shoot the pharmhand in the back after being downed, that would be a different story. Even if it could only be proved that the pharmhand knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that there were no other BG's left, that might lead to some charge of misconduct.

Interesting situation for a jury to ponder.

You gotta admit that the Perp figured out a good way to break his habit.
