DA: Killing of robber at Levittown pharmacy a 'public service'

Pharmacist kills shotgun-(and umbrella-) wielding robber.

"There is no thought that we would prosecute the shooter in this case. He was entirely justified in his conduct, and frankly should be commended," [District Attorney David] Heckler said.

"From what I can see, he performed a public service in taking out this fella," Heckler continued. "The fella asked for what he got and he got it."

I think the pharmacist probably didn't need a lawyer for this one.

That is the way it should be.

Wow, a DA who has a non-PC public opinion. Nice.

Yeah evidently not from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.



I guess if I was the BG accomplice I would plead "fuzzy" memory also.

Shocked to hear something like that out of a DA in Philly! That's great.

Double great; good to see someone not afraid to speak their mind.

I'm shocked to hear that level of truth from any DA.

DA with common sense & a mind of his own, not afraid to say the truth, a new concept but I like it.
