NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Sheriff's officials in southwest Florida say a clerk at a 24-hour food store shot and killed a man who tried to rob her and take her 1-year-old daughter.

Store owner Del Ackerman told the Naples Daily News his granddaughter shot the man after he stormed into the store Tuesday afternoon and demanded money and grabbed the stroller that held her baby.

Authorities say 22-year-old Elizabeth Easterly was alone in the store with her 1- and 2-year-old daughters. Collier County Sheriff's spokesman Jamie Mosbach says the man was acting erratically before the incident.

Mosbach says the clerk shot the man as he headed toward the door with the child. He was taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries.

The sheriff's department is investigating.

I did not read the news article, but you don’t want to shoot in knee. You could be sued for perm disability and some dumb judge would even favor the robber.

That mother not only protected and saved her child, she removed a piece of scum from the gene pool.

In the article - she said she was trained to shoot the knees.

Funny - I was trained to shoot "center mass".

But I suppose if he was carrying the kid - center mass would not be a good choice.

Big artery in the leg. It happens. Best not to rob people. Bully shot for the girl!

Id go for the thigh if that were the case. Probably the same result.

He grabbed the stroller and headed toward the door. Unless he put the stroller up over his shoulder, center mass shouldn't have been a problem.

I'm curious which training taught her to shoot for the knees?

Even in gangsta movies they aim for center mass.

Darn, thirty years in the military and I was taught to always "double tap". That's why you were given two knees.

Huh?

[DaveE111 10]

Huh?

double tap = shoot twice

one knee gone with first shot - shoot the second knee (a joke)

Of course you shoot center mass.

So that's what a double tap is.
