This could have been prevented if the carrier had went through the drive thru instead. Then some easy victim would have been attacked instead.

Be aware out there folks, look up from that cell phone when walking to the car.

1. I don't get what you are saying

What could have been prevented? The mugger getting shot? The victim was lucky it to be armed in this case.

If it wasn't this victim it would have been a different one.

how many of those arrests led to a conviction? Were any felonies? For domestic abuse?

I'm guessing that the shooter was carrying illegally.
