Double Naught Spy--

Mea Culpa. I appologize for not reading my heading more carefully. I have edited it to reflect what I was thinking although you accurately point out it was not what I was writing.

It was not my intention to "spice it up". I was more interested in beginning a discussion on whether one gets involved in a situation like this, how they might do it, and the importance of being aware of the background.

UPDATE:

As of this evening's news, it was reported that the customer (quote: a gun enthuiast) fired on the BG hitting him 7 times. It was also reported that early findings in the investigation indicate that the clerk was hit by one of the BG's rounds. It was also stated that charges against the customer were unlikely.

BTW, Washington State Law is pretty liberal regarding Self Defense when a Felony is being committed.
