Trio Arrested in Armed Robbery Outside Walmart Store

Little Rock - An armed man attempting to rob a Little Rock woman on a Walmart parking lot fled when he was shot at many times by the shopper's husband.

Police say Lydia Antonete, 57, was loading up groceries in her car Monday night outside the store in west Little Rock when a man pointed a gun at her and grabbed her purse. Her husband, John W. Antonete, 63, took out a gun from a concealed holster in his clothing and shot at the man three times, then fired another shot when the man got into his vehicle and drove off.

Police used the description of the vehicle to find the suspect. They arrested Jonathan Terry, 24, of England at the University Hospital. Two others also were arrested on charges in the case. They were Sherry Battles, 25, of North Little Rock, and Tequila M. Rice, 22, of Lonoke.

Police said Antonete has a concealed weapons permit.

The broadcast version only indicated that the assailant was hit once in the ass, so not a real good hit ratio, but at least the 'victim' came out on top. Also not mentioned in the print story is that the CCW holder was released after questioning, and the police spokesman indicated that 'this type of situation is exactly what CCW permits are for'" (or something to that effect).

Shens.
 
The ONLY part of this that I have any problem with is that the guy only scored 1 hit out of 4 rounds. That makes him about as accurate as a drive-by gangbanger shooting.
Sounds like he needs to spend some time actually learning to shoot his fucking pistola.

Otherwise...good job. MORE criminals need to be shot...or shot at anyway. 😀

yes, police are required to only be accurate 25% of the time, excellent observation sir.
 
It's hard to fault anyone for accuracy here, as we weren't physically there to see it go down. We don't know the husband's range from the target nor how clear a shot he may have had, and we can imagine that he was under a significant amount of stress. It's also possible that he's never had to draw his gun under such a real situation before. It's hard to say how well we would do under similar circumstances.

Yeah, it's a shame he wasn't able to kill the guy, but we can say it's a great thing that neither he nor his wife was hurt during the process.

Agreed, however having drawn a weapon on someone before I can tell you there's nothing that can prepare you for it. I imagine it was worse for him too since the love of his life was in dangers. I also imagine it got worse after he fired the first shot, although I never have, so I can only speculate.

I'm just happy they are ok.

True dat. Once the adrenaline starts pumping...accuracy usually goes to shit...even with training.

BUT, the other three rounds...where did they go?
I'd have been ironic as hell if he'd have shot some innocent bystander in his excitement.
(fortunately, that didn't happen.)

As supposed to the registered gun owners going berserk and taking lives?

Geez, comments like that are the epitome of offensive. Um, you do realize that skin color does not intrinsically have anything to do with behavior, right?

only if the robber has been white, if you kill a black person you generally get a slap on the wrist, and the police give you a $50 gift card for Chili's for saving them the trouble of doing it themselves.

Based on the statements of the PD spokesman, I would have to think that no charges against the CCW holder would be forthcoming had the assailant died. As she indicated, this was a justified use of force by a legally licensed CCW holder defending a loved one from physical harm, or possibly worse. I don't think the fact that the assailant lived or died would change that determination.

I thought Zero was making a comment on the fact that one person was named 'Tequila Rice', but I could be wrong.

The DA in his area has an IQ over 20 - then no, he would not have been.

Really? Didn't someone say the robber was shot in the butt? So, killing someone by shooting them in the back as they run away is acceptable?
