Store manager shoots robber

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

COCOA — A store manager shot and wounded an armed man during an attempted robbery at a Chevron gas station near U.S. 1 and Peachtree Street on Tuesday night.

At about 9:20 p.m., a man entered the store and pointed a large-caliber handgun at the store manager and demanded money. The store manager, Sowann Suy, 40, instead pulled out a gun from below the counter and started firing.

The man was shot once in the abdomen. He did not fire his weapon and immediately left the store, collapsing in the parking lot, where Cocoa police found him when they arrived a few minutes later. Suy called 9-1-1 right after the shooting.

Police did not release the suspect's name.

No other customers or store employees were in the station at the time of the incident.

3. Some feline is going to complain about you calling the criminal a goblin. But since this is the 2nd.

... time I have seen this, I am wondering if goblin = criminal is some new cop show lingo.

2. Who would have thought being an armed robber would be dangerous?

I just hope the store manager isn't prosecuted to heavily.

4. Why would you feel the store owner will be prosecuted?

Remember the incident happened in Florida.

If the store owners was in the right and it looks like he was, he should face no charges.

Florida is not Chicago or New York City.

5. On what pretense would he even be arrested much less prosecuted?
