Speak for yourself.
Some of us fight back.
… Becton is releasing them all these days (re: murder of gas station attendant in Antioch) … this guy is probably out by now or will be soon
Another news outlet reported the shooter maybe have been “associated with pizza my way”. I’m not sure if that means employee or customer. It said it started as an argument and the two may have known each other
Probably the old “No pineapple on Pizza” argument again!
one media story says the person was shot 8 times….
OUCH !
*** LISTEN UP OR BE A STATISTIC ***
DEFUND POLICE MEANS SELF PROTECTION
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
EDUCATION AND SAFETY
ULTIMATELY IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO PROTECT THEMSELVES…
It was an employee/owner of pizza my way who was shot in the restaurant by a relative of the other owner of restaurant. The victim is one of my friends, however I don’t know the exact motive.
Any further updates on the victim ?
