A self shooting incident, for a change.
Good reminder that the basic safety rules always apply, and the hot brass dance is only funny as long as it is done properly (with the gun still pointed in safe direction).

Damn. What a shit sandwich.
I agree. Apprehension of shoplifters should be left to the police. If anything be a good witness, follow them at a safe distance using cover, and see what vehicle they get into, etc.
Why intervene? It's not your stuff; this man didn't know if force had been used, and if so what that force was.
Terrible incident where a man with a good heart died. To me, there is little doubt this incident will lay a terrible burden on the officer.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
Can't agree enough. I'm a Level III, commissioned Security Officer. The point that was hammered home to us was that we ARE NOT COPS! Our job is to be seen and 99.5% detriment. Hopefully the bad guy sees a guy in uniform with a gun and goes somewhere else. We can resort to force to protect the life ( and to a lesser degree property ) of our employer as though it were our own. We don't use force to enforce rules. We inform people of what the rules are. If they don't comply, we ask them to leave the premises. If they don't we call the police.
Most of the armed people I know are aware of this. Sadly, a few think a License to Carry makes them an offshoot of law enforcement.
Dustin Boone was arrested Wednesday in connection with the June 9 robbery. Boone, 32, of Dover-Foxcroft entered the Store ‘N More at about 3:50 p.m., pulled out what appeared to be a “gun wrapped in a sock” and pointed it at the store clerk, according to R. Christopher Almy, assistant district attorney for Piscataquis County. The clerk opened the register, emptied $461 into a brown paper bag and handed it to the robber. As Boone was exiting the store, the clerk took out a 9 mm Gen5 Glock semi-automatic handgun and fired once, hitting Boone, who fell to the ground outside, Almy said. The clerk emerged from the store and held the prone Boone at gunpoint until police arrived. Boone is next due in court on July 26.

Good guy shopping at Navy surplus store came out and killed the bad guy.
Other officer arrived and killed the good guy.
Not sure what happened as details are still coming but looks like mistaken identity.

At first Gore thought it could be civilians exchanging fire, but said it did not come as a surprise when she later found out the U.S. Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force was involved. She said she could tell law enforcement involved were well trained based on what she witnessed, and that the Marshals were trying to avoid hitting innocent bystanders.
“You could tell that they were trained just to a great level. I mean I can’t even find the words to describe what level of training that they demonstrated today,” she said.
