So he already had a gun but no ammo in it? So instead of simply getting ammo for that gun he would rather use the store's gun & ammo to off himself? WTF?

Since a "man" did this, Dick's will now likely decide to ban men from entering their stores.

If we would just make death illegal, this would be impossible. I vote for death control. If it would help save one child it would be worth it.700PSS wrote:Since a "man" did this, Dick's will now likely decide to ban men from entering their stores.

I don't care what the manager says. I am not cleaning up the mess in the bathroom.

I actually worked there as a part-time/side job at the gun counter back in 2000-2001 (when the location was "Galyan's", before Dick's bought them out). Closing the store each night was no fun, especially if your dept. had restroom detail for the month. I could tell you some stories.RWBlue wrote:I don't care what the manager says.

This story doesn't make sense. He had a gun and held the clerk at gunpoint... to get another gun to kill himself? Why not just steal/buy ammo use the firearm he used on the clerk?
I guess it is possible that was his intention and that he endered the store and found it completely empty of ammo? He then proceeded to assess that the only ammo in stock was shotgun ammo... and then proceeded to strategize a way to get his hands on a shotgun.
