Adric White, 18, took out a gun, went into a Family Dollar store, and told the cashier to hand over all the money.
He held the employees at gunpoint, thinking he was in control. Confident and in charge, he gave orders and expected them to be followed.
But things changed when a bystander with a legal gun stepped in and confronted him.
The Good Samaritan pointed his gun at White and told him not to move.
But White refused to back down and instead looked at the man instead of following orders.
The Good Samaritan shot White five times, stopping him. This allowed others to tie him up and take away his gun.
Even though Adric White survived being shot five times, his pride was hurt the most. After getting medical care, he was charged with armed robbery.
White’s family said the man shouldn’t have shot him. They believed he should have just walked away and not gotten involved.
But the Good Samaritan felt threatened by White, so he stepped in and fired five shots. Even though it was risky for him to act, he wanted to stop the crime.
Since White was aiming his gun at the store employees and threatening to kill them, the bystander had the right to protect himself and others.
White and his family have no real proof to support their argument. They were just upset that White’s plan failed and that he got shot instead of getting away with the crime.
The exact places where White was shot haven’t been revealed. However, he is in stable condition and is expected to recover fully.
He should be grateful he survived. Bringing a gun to rob a store is always dangerous.
Even though he didn’t escape unharmed, he still made it out alive, and that’s something to appreciate.
The Good Samaritan has asked to stay anonymous, so we haven’t shared his name. However, he did say that this was the first time he ever had to use his concealed carry, and he wishes it didn’t have to come to gunfire.
