Armed gas station clerk shoots, kills robbery suspect

The numbers are bigger, the trends remain unchanged.

At least the entrance wound was in his front not his back. That's important ya know.

If, as it appears at this time, that this is a good shoot, then the clerk should receive a commendation for his service to the law abiding public.
Waiting for details to come out. Hope the clerk had LTCH, for his sake, not that such should be required for defense on one's self, but that's the current state of IN law.

WTHR is naming the decedent as Levi Walker, age 20. Quick search of court dockets doesn't reveal anything too bad, and I think it picks up both Marion and Johnson counties.

Kinda odd that this dude was a first-time robber. Although, clearly, he wasn't that good at it.

Maybe a first time robber. This time he definitely got caught but maybe not in all instances.

The reporting says a double tap too. Wonder how well his shot placement was.

Not sure why but that made me laugh.

First time vs first time caught could be a distinction. Possibly.

I would suppose it's what it looks like until evidence proves otherwise. If I had to suppose.

Sounds like the clerk did good.

You can carry without a LTCH, if you don't own the property, the owner just needs to OK it & the shooter was the owner so he's good. It also said the other clerks carry.

Probably pretty good, considering the results.

That was going to be my question. If the store owner OWNS the property, does he still need a LTCH on his own personal property? Same thing for Phillips Corp. they wouldn't own the property, the property owner would have a franchise, and if not prohibited by franchise rules, can carry himself on his own private property and give permission to carry to his employees on his own private property. I'm no attorney, so I could be wrong. If I am, can an attorney please explain why and how.

Thanks

Good way to start my day keep doing what needs to be done. Be armed

 

[Robert Richardson]

Report says that the bad guy had a gun. Employees say they are allowed to carry on property, nuff said.

Own or lease wouldn't make a difference for carrying without a LTCH. It's his business regardless of who owns the deed. Franchise rules wouldn't effect Indiana state law for carrying or self defense.

My local gehtto Phillips 66 was robbed a couple of years ago and the clerk was shot in the face and died. Then the murderer skipped away. I belive the murderer was arrested.

.

At least in Marion Co, I can't think of anyone who was in a legitimate self defense shooting who was charged with no-LTCH. I had a case similar, but less fatal, just a few weeks ago and the person had applied for, but not yet received a LTCH. Both I and the prosecutor agreed no charges were appropriate.

Thanks to legislative changes that took effect in July 2011, the owner of the property or those with the owner's permission do not need an LTCH. See I.C. 35-47-2-1 (b)(1):

Indiana Code 2016 - Indiana General Assembly, 2017 Session

At least the guy died doing what he loved
