‘I wanted to make the threat go away,’ 

‘My family – their lives – were in my hands,’

‘I had to protect them.’

The young man would add that his weapon, a 9mm Smith and Wesson handgun came courtesy of his father after a recent spate of robberies at the convenience store.

  1. Might need to shoot the rest of the family as they come harass them. Just remember, I fear for my life when the cops show up. Whole family of criminals it seems.
