This is a preliminary press release about an armed robbery where a merchant was shot and killed in downtown Cincinnati. This was the same merchant who had shot at an assailant during a prior robbery attempt in 2007 (he was not charged - the prosecutor was sympathetic). No word on whether the two events were otherwise connected. They have since arrested the suspect.

Update: Mr. Nassar was stabbed/beaten to death. Word is that the police never returned hisfirearm after the 2007 incident, even though the prosecutor cleared Nassar of any criminal chargesfor firinghis gun whilst chasing the perp well beyond the bounds ofthe store.

The alleged robber/killer has been caught. Bad, bad young man, (except in his mother's opinion no doubt), lengthy criminal history.

I missed that detail in the news - I thought he had been given a clean bill of health legally last time and got his stuff back. Even sadder if it went down like this.
