Tough robbery to defend against
Seems like Little Rock thugs have a new tactic: shoot first, then take what they want.
The only defense against that is situational awareness, because no one has the reaction time from concealed carry to beat someone who comes out shooting from the moment you see them.
(FWIW, Terry Hastings is a "cousin-in-law" of mine; his mother's brother married my mother's sister. He's still "Terry Lynn" to us.

Little Rock -
Police are still looking for a suspect who shot a man during an attempted robbery in a prominent Little Rock neighborhood last night.
It happened in the 400-block of Midland, in the Hillcrest area of Little Rock.
Police say the victim, 69-year-old William Sherman, was just getting out of his car when he was approached by the suspect armed with a shotgun.
No words were exchanged between the suspect and the victim before two shots were fired.
One of those shots grazed the Sherman's chest. He is expected to be okay.
Little Rock Police say incidents like these are becoming more common.
(Terry Hastings, LRPD) "We're seeing more cases of aggravated robberies against individuals. We're not sure why that is the case, but we see a few more of those."
Hastings did offer some tips on how to get out of an aggravated robbery situation safely. He says above all, be aware of your surroundings--and if you notice anything suspicious, contact police by calling 9-1-1.
