A worker at a New Orleans East store thwarted an armed robbery earlier this month by shooting two suspects, killing one and injuring the other.

The incident occurred at Sam’s Meat Market and has sparked conversations about self-defense in high-risk situations.

According to the New Orleans Police Department (NPD), the two suspects entered the store with guns drawn, demanding cash and taking merchandise.

Security footage provided by store manager Diaa Hamed shows the worker initially complying, raising his hands before seizing an opportunity to retrieve his own weapon. The worker fired multiple shots, striking both suspects.

The juvenile suspect succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, while the second suspect, identified as 18-year-old Teony Juarez, was arrested at the scene. Juarez now faces four felony charges, including armed robbery and aggravated assault.

Police confirmed that the worker will not face charges. Hamed, who was not present during the incident, said the event has left staff shaken but unharmed.

“They were really scared. That’s why they used their guns. We all carry guns, but we hope not to use them,” Ahmed explained.

The NPD emphasized that the worker’s actions were in self-defense.

    Why does the media blur out the carnage when one of these hood-rats takes a dirt nap for terrorizing the public? Show what happens when you commit anarchy against a civilized society that lives by rules and regulations. Show the gore. Show the life flowing from their face as they draw their last breath.

    Looks like hood-rat #1, with his menacing looking extended magazine, was dead before he hit the floor. It looks like hood-rat #2 caught one on the way out while he probably shit his pants.

    I’m so damn sick and tired of the media making age an issue out of these lawless BLM shitbags. It doesn’t make a diddly-damn if either was a “juvenile” suspect or not. Age is just a number. You know the difference between right and wrong when you’re 8 years old. When you let the streets raise your ‘little johnny’ for you because all you care about is getting your government handouts at the cost of taxpayer, like me, and you suck as a parent and just don’t give a damn, don’t get upset if they get their heads blown off for terrorizing the public. That is just one less dirtbag to pollute the genepool.

    Never feel sorry for these people, they took the risk of going in there to do harm, they paid the price. Kudos on the folks there for defending themselves.

    I would NOT be surprised if some future point charges were subsequently filed against the clerk. Many times in the past the authorities have cleared the actions of a crime victim who defended themselves only for political pressure sway the direction of the case. The store workers should have a lawyer as the only source making any statements.

    I have no sympathy for these two, and feel it was a righteous outcome of a bad idea. I am also very glad this happened in a state where common sense usually rules. The two perps appeared to be leaving the premises when the clerk shot them. In some states, like CA, NY, NJ, WA, etc., the clerk would be looking at murder charges.

    A perfect solution to the problem.
