Well that just is awful for everybody. The poor lady, her family, the CHL, all CHL's.

RIP.

Yes, it's called "felony murder." If someone is killed during a felony and as a result of that felony, it "felony murder."

Chas.

...thanks...I looked in Chap 19 and I think that covers it...in La. a person who was in the store could even have a heart attack and you were charged with murder...or a partner in crime's death triggered the same thing...pretty tough law and pretty good one, too...
If I remember correctly, if you partner in crime is killed, even lets say by a policeman's bullet, you can be charged with murder.

That photo was taken down very quickly as it was interfering with the "sweet hoodie image" that the press was trying to portray at the time.

Yeah locking the doors so you can't leave seems like a draw your weapon signal.

Very sad this female manager was killed.

In all fairness, Family Dollar robbers seem to come in all sizes and colors, not to mention sartorial choices: https://www.google.com/search?sugexp=ch ... 2QWstZ3JCQ

Edited to add: yeah, when the bad guys lock the doors, it is at the very least time to unholster and get ready for the worst.
I should have copied the photo when it was posted. It was really pretty powerful. I didn't realize newspapers later edit their stories. I searched Google for the photo but could not find it.

I wonder why the security footage has not made it to the news yet. Don't worry if it is the CHL's bullet we will see it soon.
