Central Texas Storeowner Shot During Robbery Save Email Print

A | A | A

(October 3, 2008)—A 52-year-old Rockdale convenience store owner was in critical condition Friday at Scott & White Hospital in Temple after he was shot three times during a late-night robbery.

Two men confronted Gurmail Gill, owner of Gill’s convenience store, as Gill closed his store around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, Rockdale Police Chief Thomas Harris said.

They demanded money and when he said he had none, they shot him with a handgun, Harris said.

Gill was airlifted to Scott & White.

Both robbers were black, Harris said.

One was about 5-foot-7, the other about 6-feet tall, Harris said.

Both were wearing masks, Harris said.

Other details weren’t immediately available Friday morning.

The only problem with that solution is that, the idiots will also be able to open carry. Please dont tell me you dont know idiots with guns. That would in turn make you take an IQ test just to own a gun which would in turn not be constitutional. LOL I knew a guy that moved from Arizona, he said it was nice to open carry but that you also didnt wanna get into any arguments with morons, cause they had the lest to lose. Also people were hot headed and always shot at clubs and bars.

I agree with dude on this matter, However you dont have to to be licensed to have a shotgun in your store But either way would give the store workers or owners the right to defend their property and life , Prayers goes out to Mr. Gill hope he gets a speedy recovery and the suspects get what they deserve either shot or put in jail for a long time.

look at the convenience store robbery stats for arizona, it doesnt happen very often, they have an open carry law, it works very well. the clerk in az usually have a gun on the hip. they dont get robbed or shot. please sign the open carry petition for texas. easy to find online.(open carry, texas )
