2 men in ski masks robbed BJ’s Drug last night around 830 pm, getting away with over 375 dollars. One of the men held a gun on Barney Joseph, Jr, the owner, while the other grabbed the cash.
Joseph is said to have a gun kept under the counter, but decided not to use it during the event due to his father being killed in a similar event nearly 25 years ago.
“Yes, Dad resisted, I guess. Anyway, they found him shot to death, his own gun in his hand, and a bullet in the store’s ceiling. I’d rather part with my money than my life”
Barney Joseph, Jr; Owner of BJ’s Drug; age 43
Police say that the robbery was over in under a minute, the men getting away in a car parked in front of the store with the motor left running.
OK on the lead, organization.
