Showing Original Post only (View all)UPDATE: Florida man who shot suspects during Internet cafe robbery will not face charges [View all]
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/19/florida-customer-who-shot-suspects-during-internet-cafe-robbery-will-not-face/There is a more complete video at the link.
The 71-year-old Florida man who fired his gun at two men trying to rob a crowded Internet café will not face criminal charges, an assistant state attorney general told FoxNews.com

Williams said in a post-incident interview, that he and his wife were at the cafe to play "sweepstakes," Gladson's memo said. He heard the commotion and, when given an opportunity, fired his weapon to protect his wife and other patrons, the memo stated.

In addition to defending himself and other customers he was also defending his wife. Notice in the video that the robber sweeps the gun across everybody in the room.
