18 year old with a record for robbery holds up a store and has a gun to an employee's head. Armed customer walks in, sees what's going on and shoots the criminal. He didn't kill him, but I'm not sure that was on purpose.
But here's where it gets all 2013'ish. The criminal's family says the customer had no business shooting him since there wasn't a gun to HIS head. He just should have gone out to his car and left. You have to listen to the video of the family member talking on the phone. It sounds like she said that with a straight face. To hell in a handbasket, I tell ya'.
A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with.
If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him - what gives him the right to think that it's okay to just shoot someone? said the relative. You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.
FOX10 had interviewed Whites parents but they later called and demanded the video not be aired.
Court records show that White was out on bond for robbing The Original Oyster House at gunpoint a little more than a month before the Family Dollar robbery.

eta: I can't edit the title. He was holding an employee, not a customer, at gunpoint. Not that it makes any difference, imo. Maybe a mod can edit for me?
