OMG!!!

The gen­eral pub­lic is sick and tired of being sick and tired of wait­ing on the gov­ern­ment and the police to get crime in check!!!!  A would-be rob­ber has been shot in the face while attempt­ing to rob Texaco Gas Station at Wulff Road.

We are not advo­cat­ing “Vigilante Justice” how­ever we sym­pa­thize with how frus­trated the hard-working Bahamians are of liv­ing in total fear!!

The Tribune Reports:

A DUMB rob­ber who had already been shot in the face after raid­ing the cash reg­is­ter at a fill­ing sta­tion, was blasted again with a shot­gun as he tried to “buzz” his way out of the building.

Quick-thinking employ­ees at the Wulff Road Texaco gas sta­tion thwarted the mid­night attack on Monday, leav­ing blood-stained ban­knotes scat­tered every­where and a sus­pect crit­i­cally ill in hospital.

The masked assailant entered the gas sta­tion store and waved a gun at the cashier. The cashier fled, leav­ing the rob­ber to hop over the counter to col­lect money from the cash register.

With cash in hand, the rob­ber tried to flee but was unable to escape as the elec­tronic buzzer sys­tem had locked him inside the store.

Employees told The Tribune how they sought safety in back offices and the bath­room as store man­ager Antwon Todd watched the scene unfold on video sur­veil­lance equipment.

Armed with a licensed shot­gun, Mr Todd ordered the rob­ber to “freeze” as he tried in vain to “buzz” the door open. Then, accord­ing to a mem­ber of staff, the rob­ber reached for his gun forc­ing Mr Todd to fire his first shot, hit­ting him in the face and send­ing the man to the ground. He then had to open fire again when the rob­ber attempted to retrieve his gun.

The sus­pect was hand­cuffed, ques­tioned by the police and then rushed to hos­pi­tal. Money was left scat­tered across the floor.

An employee said: “Honestly, I was just hop­ing he was dead because this is not the first time we were robbed. This was the first one for the year. My thoughts were just, I hope he was dead.

“Everything is calm now. Right after it hap­pened every­one was think­ing the same thing. It is not that we are scared or any­thing, it is just that we are tired.”

No cus­tomers were present at the 24-hour gas sta­tion dur­ing the rob­bery. The sta­tion was closed as police inves­ti­gated and reopened after 2 am.
