Looks like a great shoot from here! Too bad they’ll rid the employee of his wages. Perhaps QT will hire him for their new armed employees program?

Do we know this to be the case? A robbery foiled by a good guy with a gun? Or could it be a jealous husband out to get his revenge on some guy he suspects is cheating on him with his wife? Maybe a drug deal gone bad? Was a bump stock involved? I'd like to know more before I say that the employee was a "hero"; and the guy he shot was a "bad guy"...a GGWAG against a BGWAG scenario...you know?

I hope some of you Tulsa folks will update us on this.

Photo department. They usually go for the pharmacy.

Apparently the suspect went in with ill intentions armed with a pistol, im guessing he wasnt there to grab a bag of chips and dip.

Sgt. Brandon Watkins with TPD’s Homicide Unit said in a news release Wednesday night that a 52-year-old man pulled a gun and jumped behind the photo counter to take photographs from the clerk.


While other clerks tried to call the police, the man jumped back over the counter. A 28-year-old Walgreens employee, who had a concealed-carry license and was armed, shot and killed the man, Watkins said.

From what I have been able to read so far the Perp got all upset with the clerk because a photo of his deceased daughter was not ready when he arrived. The perp then threatened to kill the clerk and said he will be back soon. Instead of cooling off the perp indeed returns with a gun jumps over the counter and starts to threaten and shoot at the clerk (*depending on the version of the news story). Clerk drops perp and two others are injured by stray rounds. Police are still trying to figure out who's rounds hit the bystanders, but have classified this as an attempted robbery.

For those unfamiliar with Tulsa, the Walgreens location is within a mile of a high crime area west of there.
