Oh, Alabama:
A Waffle House customer in Birmingham, Alabama, shot and killed a man Sunday morning who was [allegedly] threatening to shoot patrons in the restaurant.
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Lt. Joni Money indicated that deputies were called about the man who was allegedly threatening patrons, but one of the restaurant’s customers got into “an altercation” with the suspect and shot him before deputies reached the scene.
Our Hero then left the scene before the fuzz arrived.
Now I’m not saying that he should have done so, but on the other hand there may have been extenuating circumstances, such as he might not have wanted to lose his carry piece to the evidence locker.
Or he himself is a criminal, in which case oops.
Whatever:
