Recommended Posts

This is what we refer to as a "Negative Outcome". All kinds of bad decision making here and poor marksmanship to top it off. THIS is why people need training......

Ace Hardware employee accidentally shot by bystander: report

The shooting occurred at about 9 a.m.

An employee at an Ace Hardware store in Phoenix was shot Saturday by a bystander after giving chase to a shoplifting suspect, reports said.
Fox 10 Phoenix reported that the employee chased the suspect outside of the store and a bystander fired at the suspected thief. She missed the suspect and instead hit the employee, the report said. He sustained serious injuries but is expected to survive.
Nya Reyes, 45, was arrested and reportedly faces charges of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm within city limits. She remained at the scene, the report said.

The shooting occurred at about 9 a.m. Police said that a person who was outside the store witnessed the incident and opened fire, ABC 15 reported. The suspected shoplifter has not been caught.

Shouldn't/are not allowed to legally shoot someone who is stealing property, here in TN,  and not presenting a deadly threat. She is in serious trouble. Has ruined her future, any way you slice it. 

Yep, and seriously injured her bank account as well.  Will in all likely hood have plenty of time to think about it sitting in a cell.

That woman needs education on "shoot, don't shoot" decision making.  I hate a thief, but don't think they should be shot

I think a thief should be shot. Sadly, the law doesn’t allow that though. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if they changed the law.
