The seller said that one of the teenagers tried to walk off with the console and the other pulled out a gun.

The seller pulled out his own gun and shot one of the teenagers in the shoulder and the other in the head. The 19-year-old was listed in fair condition and the 15-year-old was hospitalized in critical condition.

Man selling Xbox shot two teenagers who tried to steal it from him, Chicago police say (fox32chicago.com)

How dare he defend himself and reclaim his stolen property.... 25 years in Jail.

Honestly good on him, fuck the guys robbing him at gunpoint.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

They fucked around and found out.

 

[Tschumi]

Phew, sure is a good thing those two kids had a gun to threaten him with and he had a gun to shoot them both with

Anyone still has Jack Thompson's number?

15 yr old kid being shot in the head is awful, but seriously. Don’t try rob people.

15 year old kids having guns and robbing people is even more awful.

I guess it is a cultural thing, but I havent personally ever met a person whom have been robbed/mugged in my country. And I know one person whom owns a handgun.

But I have heard that violent robbing&mugging have became more common even at here too, mostly done by non-native people and guns have become more common among low lifes, they say. At least around the capital city, where most of the problems have concentrated.

I sell lot of stuff online and meet people almost weekly, dunno if I would be brave enough to meet buyers anymore if things like this would happen here.

Still sick, to think that robbing someone by gunpoint because of damn console is worth it, or to have to shoot someone in the head because of a console.

Anything over a couple hundred dollars, I make it a point to meet at the police station (either in the parking lot or in the lobby).
