Adric White, an 18-year-old armed robber, thought he had the upper hand when he entered a Family Dollar store, demanding cash at gunpoint. He held the employees hostage and thought he was in control. But little did he know that his plans would be foiled by a brave Good Samaritan with a legal concealed-carry license.
When the Good Samaritan arrived at the scene, he swiftly pointed his weapon at White and warned him not to move. However, White was too arrogant to comply. Instead of listening, he turned around to face the Good Samaritan. Ignoring the warning, White soon found himself on the receiving end of five bullets, which put an end to his reign of terror and allowed others to restrain him and take away his gun.
While White survived the shooting with five gunshot wounds, his ego suffered the biggest blow. After being treated at the hospital, he was charged with armed robbery. But when his family learned about the incident, they expressed their outrage. They couldn’t believe that it was deemed acceptable for the Good Samaritan to shoot their son. They demanded to know why the police had not arrested him.
The family argued that the Good Samaritan should not have taken matters into his own hands. They believed he should have stayed out of the situation. However, it was clear that the Good Samaritan felt threatened by White’s menacing actions. White had waved his gun around, pointing it at the employees and putting their lives at risk. In such a dangerous scenario, it was reasonable for a bystander to step in and try to protect the innocent. The family’s objections seemed to stem from their disappointment that their son’s plans had been thwarted and that he had not gotten away unscathed.
It is unclear where the five bullets struck White, but he is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. He should be grateful that he escaped with his life. Attempting an armed robbery is always a risky proposition, and while White was not without consequences, he should consider himself fortunate to be alive.
The Good Samaritan, who wishes to remain anonymous, deeply regrets having to use his concealed carry weapon in this situation. He emphasized that this was the first time he had to resort to such measures, and he hopes it will be the last.
