Myers, who says he’s a licensed security guard, was sitting in his car Wednesday to conduct “overwatch” while his son trains because “he has seen numerous crimes occur” in the parking lot, according to the probable cause statement.
The surveillance footage shows Myers approach the teens with a gun in his hand, point it directly at them and then move quickly toward them, police said. One of the boys pulls a BB gun out of his pocket, lays it on the ground and extends his arms out as if to show he has nothing in his hands, police said in the document.
“Immediately after … it is clear that he has been shot because he abruptly jerks his body away from Myers and falls to the ground,” the document says.
So how do you return one of the guns you can buy in such stores if there’s an issue with it?
You inform an employee and they escort your gun with you in the store. It is also important to note I am in Canada and we have different gun laws.
That’s really not at all how it works in Washington. Or anywhere else in the U.S.
These kids were doing absolutely nothing wrong or even out of the ordinary.
I never claimed they did anything wrong. I propose a set of rules that could help prevent anoter incident.
Your set of rules puts the onus on the victim to avoid getting shot. You’re putting restrictions on the wrong party.
How many deaths would such rules prevent per year versus things like mandated safety lessons and training?
