This story has been on the local news here about a triple murder at a local motorcycle gear store that I actually patronize for parts and gear for my bike.
Employees avoid crossfire; two charged after three die in N. Cha - Live5News.com | Charleston, SC | News, Weather, Sports
The details still seem to be very sketchy at the moment. But from what it appears there was a fight that broke out between two groups of people inside the store. That went from in the store to outside the store. Once outside somebody started shooting. One account has one of the victims crawling back into the store with a gun to avoid the mob.
I'm curious to see your opinions on how a situation like this should be handled.
If I had been in the store I probably would have tried to move as far away from the fight as possible. Once they move outside I would stay in the store since my escape via my bike or car would be gone.
Where it gets dicey for me is how do I determine who is a threat and who isn't especially since what appears to be one of the victims comes back into the store with a gun (possibly had a CWP?). I think what I would probably try to just follow the employees to somewhere safer. Once we've barricaded ourselves anybody who comes through with a gun who isn't a LEO will be considered a threat and dealt with appropriately.
Does that response sound reasonable?
This case may get a little more interesting once more details emerge.
