恶性杀人事件被制止: Orrville一元店

TFollowerII

2014年1月16日

Ellis（好人）正要出dollar店的门。
McLaughlin(坏人，神经病）进了店。
挥舞着手枪，用枪指着、并强迫收银员和Ellis往后面的休息室走。
McLaughlin声称要找三个bad motherf**kers。
店里这时候还有其他的客人和送货的。一些从外面想进店的客人看见坏人都吓跑了。
Ellis有CCW。在走到休息室的门的时候，突然转身，开枪射击。McLaughlin死了。

现实不是模拟器，可以让我们计算出来如果没有Ellis的武装制止，McLaughlin还会多杀多少个。但是common sense告诉我，应该还有至少3个无辜的生命会被McLaughlin伤害。

故事到这里没有完。

店门 This sign failed to prevent Kevin McLaughlin from waltzing right on in and pointing a gun at a cashier and customer. Maybe a larger font size would help?

关于坏人McLaughlin。他最近刚被诊断出神经病。在服药治疗。但是最近的一次季节性疾病干扰了他的治疗。他的一个朋友说（见下）“5分钟前还是好好的. But something went wrong in his mind, and 5 minutes later he was dead.”

关于好人Ellis。他那时候的确是个英雄。但是，英雄不是圣人。他的个人生活有违法嫌疑。他之前在高中篮球比赛勾搭上了一个不到16的女孩子。（女孩子应该也是愿意的，但是法律不承认）女孩子坐他的车到他家，发生性。现在Ellis正在经历司法程序。二级强奸。这个法律上的二级强奸是不管女方同意与否。只要和不到16岁年轻的干就犯了这个法：

(Acts 1977, No. 607, p. 812, §2310.)Section 13A-6-62
Rape in the second degree.  A male commits the crime of rape in the second degree if:

• Being 16 years old or older, he engages in sexual intercourse with a female less than 16 and more than 12 years old; provided, however, the actor is at least two years older than the female.
• He engages in sexual intercourse with a female who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally defective.
  

在本次恶性杀人事件中，他的CCW还是有效的（因为2级强奸的司法程序没有走完）。但是如果被convicted，那么以后就没有CCW了，也不应该能够买枪支了。

这个事件还说明了以下两点：

• 好人和坏人的转变问题（McLaughlin5分钟前和5分钟后；Ellis的个人生活上的违法嫌疑问题和他的英雄之举）
• 罪犯是不管你什么Gun Free Zone的。挂着个牌子指望着罪犯望而却步那是掩耳盗铃般的愚蠢。
  

DALLAS COUNTY, AL (WSFA) -
Dallas County authorities say the customer who shot and killed a gun-wielding man inside an Orrville dollar store had a valid concealed carry permit.

Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson has identified the customer as Marlo Ellis, 37, of Orrville. Authorities say Ellis shot and killed Kevin McLaughlin around 12:45 p.m. Thursday at the Dollar General on Highway 22 in Orrville.

Officials say McLaughlin walked into the store waving a gun in the air and forced a cashier and Ellis at gunpoint towards a break room. At that point, Ellis pulled out a concealed weapon and shot McLaughlin once in the chest.

"He escorted a customer who was trying to leave the store and a cashier toward a break room. The cashier went in first and the customer went in behind her, and the individual had the gun on the customer and the customer had a pistol concealed in a holster," Dallas County Sheriff Harris Huffman said. "And when the customer got to the door, he turned around and shot the individual."

McLaughlin was pronounced dead at the scene. The tense ordeal played out in less than five minutes, police said.

Other customers and delivery men were inside the store at the time of the incident. Several customers making their way into the store saw McLaughlin waving a gun and ran away.

The Dollar General store was closed Thursday afternoon following the shooting. A sign on the front door indicated it would reopen Friday. There was another sign on the doors of the business stating that open carry of a weapon was not allowed inside the store. According to the sheriff, Ellis' gun was concealed and inside a holster.

"The deceased individual had his in his hand, waving it. The customer actually had one in a holster covered up. We're in the process of checking on permits and all of that. To have a gun concealed, you need a permit. To carry it open carry, you don't. But you have a sign in a place of business, that's letting you know that the people inside that place of business do not want guns in there," the sheriff said.

The investigation is ongoing and detectives are interviewing everyone who was present at the time of the shooting and reviewing surveillance footage of the incident. The security video has not yet been released but the sheriff said it would be "forthcoming."

No other customers or employees were injured.

Sheriff Huffman says his department's findings would be turned over to a grand jury for review. He says the incident is currently being called a death investigation.

"You have one individual waving a gun and you have another one who shoots the one waving the gun. Some people say that's justifiable. Then you're going to have some who says it's not. I think we need to get all of the information we can get from everybody and then go forward from there," the sheriff said in an interview.

McLaughlin's motive remains unclear. Sheriff Huffman does not think it was a robbery. He says words were exchanged between McLaughlin and the people inside the store but there was never any mention of a robbery or hold up or a demand for money.

An autopsy will be conducted on McLaughlin by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.

Local residents reacted Thursday as news of the incident spread.

"It's a shame because we never had anything like this done in this area before. Now we fear the streets when we walk into stores and stuff. It's very shocking. I hate what happened," said Nicole Miller.

On Friday, District Attorney Michael Jackson said he doesn't expect Marlo Ellis to face any charges in the incident at the Dollar General.

"In Alabama you have the right to defend yourself or a third party so when the perpetrator went in there with a gun anybody in the store had the right to deadly force and that's what happened so he actually was a Good Samaritan in this situation because other people could have been injured if he hadn't taken action," Jackson told WSFA.

As for McLaughlin's intentions, he said there were "rumors and speculations" circulating that would be sorted out in the course of the investigation.

"I don't know why he went in there waving a gun at the people. Whatever reason he went in there for, it was very serious. Anytime someone goes into store and points guns at people, then anybody in the store has the right to use deadly force against that person," he added.

Jackson confirmed that Marlo Ellis, the customer who used deadly force, is facing charges of rape in the second degree and enticing a child for immoral purposes, stemming from a 2013 investigation involving a girl under the age of 16. Court documents state that Ellis picked the victim up at a school basketball game and drove her to his house where they had sex. The district attorney said Ellis' case is on the trial docket for February. He has been out of jail on bond.

Jackson tells WSFA that Ellis was within his rights to have a concealed carry permit because he has not been convicted in the sex case.

Mr. McLaughlin was not attempting a robbery. Sadly, he had recently been diagnosed with a neurological disorder. No symptoms to date ever suggested the disorder was of this severity. He was under the care of a physician and taking appropriate measures for his health. Unfortunately, a recent seasonal illness may have interfered with his ability to take medication properly. He was completely stable and well just minutes before. But something went wrong in his mind, and 5 minutes later he was dead. He was a good and kind person who suffered a tragic moment. It's no different from a person who suffers a seizure. He did not have control at that moment. That person in the store that day was not who he was. This was not premeditated or out of any anger. It was the tragic result of a rare and severe complication of a neurological disorder.

Your community is a small one. Please be careful with your words and show compassion to the people who loved him--even if you feel it is undeserved. They are immensely thankful no one else was harmed, but they are devastated beyond belief that they have lost him.

He is someone's son, someone's brother, and someone's father. I'm thankful to have known him and am sad his life ended so young in this way.
