Police: Store Employee Charged After Shooting 1 of 3 Burglars
[ARLNow] Police: Store Employee Charged After Shooting Would-Be Thief

An employee of a local shop is facing charges after police say he shot someone breaking into the store.
Note the original title. They also did not mention what in particular he did wrong.
The incident happened Sunday morning in the Green Valley neighborhood, shortly before 5 a.m.

Police say a group of three suspects broke into a store on the 2400 block of Shirlington Road and began stealing cash and merchandise. The employee, who was in a backroom at the time, picked up a gun, opened a door into the store, and shot one of the suspects, according to an Arlington County Police press release.

The employee then retreated, before going back into the store and firing another shot, police said. The wounded suspect was a juvenile male; he suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries. The two other suspects fled the scene before police arrived.

Following consultation with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, the employee, Hamzeh Abushariah, 33, of Washington D.C. was charged with Malicious Wounding, Reckless Handling of a Firearm and Violation of a Protective Order. He is being held without bond.

#1 the employee, Hamzeh Abushariah, 33, of Washington D.C. was charged with Malicious Wounding, Reckless Handling of a Firearm and Violation of a Protective Order.

Based on a name, he should've walked.

#5 Picture at link show a smoke shop, so it isn't like they are there, 5am on Sunday, making doughnuts for the breakfast rush.

Its almost like businesses are bracing for the lack of police.

#6 Doesn't read like Hamzeh had too many options as it was a breaking-in crime in progress. I'd assume the store was closed for business at the time? This does read like the DA has inserted her TDS into the mix.

#7 Some places you aren't allowed to use deadly force to protect your property. Only if you or someone's life is in immediate danger. I bet Arlington is one of those.

#8 It's a veritable conundrum.

Do you let a Hamzeh Abushariah shoot at citizens ? Do you let delinquents off if the victim's an Abushariah ? How much liberty can you let an Abushariah take ?

#9 The police have no duty to protect you and you have no right to protect yourself.

But pay them taxes cattle, pensions and donuts don't pay for themselves.

#10 The DA's campaign was financed by George Soros, and our traditional rights are abhorrent to him.
