Store clerk shoots, kills robbery suspect
When Lamar Allen and another man entered a North Toledo carryout Monday and allegedly threatened a clerk with firearms and allegedly began emptying the register of cash, the clerk was ready for them.The story goes on to give the obligatory "he was a good boy" treatment to Allen, but adds in that he was currently on parole for disorderly conduct - and was facing a hearing for aggravated assault and battery for shooting someone. I don't know what kind of metric they're using, but that doesn't equal "good boy" in any sense of the word. While it's a tragedy that he died so young, what's even more tragic is how incredibly preventable this all was.
Allen, 25, whose last known address is 1029 Bronson Ave., was killed by the clerk about 9:45 a.m. at the Express Carryout, 1920 Mulberry St., in an exchange of gunfire.
You know, by NOT walking into a convenience store and pointing a gun at the clerk there...
Dead Goblin Count: 215
That is all.

From a more recent article on this story:
Dr. Cynthia Beisser, a Lucas County deputy coroner, said the autopsy she did Tuesday shows that Lamar Allen, 25, whose last known address is 1029 Bronson Ave., was shot more than 10 times in the head, in the chest, and in the extremities. Most of the inflicted wounds were fatal, she said.
Nice shooting, Abu!
I don't know what kind of metric they're using, but that doesn't equal "good boy" in any sense of the word.
I think the party line is "he was confused, and made some poor choices."
