Richardson Texas Gun Store Robbery
Criminals will be criminals. Even dumb ones.
4 men entered a gun store in Richardson TX on Thursday, intent on robbery.
Only 3 exited.
The owner faked a heart condition, enabling him to grab his gun and shoot one of the suspects as he was fleeing
That suspect was taken to the hospital in good condition, and is probably squealing like a pig about now regarding his accomplices.
The ATF has disseminated pictures of the getaway car, and a reward has been posted for the remaining suspects.
In the owner’s own words:
ATF on the case.

This Week in Health: Skin Cancer
End of Summer
|Three Main Types of Skin Cancer
Basil Cell Carcinoma Squamous Cell Carcinoma Melanoma Overview
Skin cancer is the out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, caused by unrepaired DNA damage that triggers mutations. These mutations lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a less common but very aggressive form that has seen increasing numbers of cases.
The two main causes of skin cancer are the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and the use of UV tanning machines. The good news is that if skin cancer is caught early, your dermatologist can treat it with little or no scarring and high odds of eliminating it entirely. Often, the doctor may even detect the growth at a precancerous stage, before it has become a full-blown skin cancer or penetrated below the surface of the skin
Diagnosis & Treatment
Diagnosis
Any new or unusual skin growths should be examined by a dermatologist.
Biopsies can confirm a diagnosis.
Treatment
When caught early, most skin cancers such as BCC and SCC can be removed via minimally invasive surgical excision.
If the lesion has become large, or is a more aggressive form such as melanoma, much larger areas of surrounding tissue may need to be removed. This can produce significant scarring and deformity.
Melanoma in particular can often metastasize (spread to other organs of the body), and may require even more aggressive forms of treatment such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy
Prevention
Prevention and early intervention are the most important aspect of skin cancer treatment.
- Wear UV blocking sunscreen
- Avoid extended exposure to the sun
- Examine your skin routinely
- See a dermatologist annually for a professional skin exam
