Serial armed robbery suspect arrested after being shot by Cricket Wireless employee

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A serial armed robbery suspect was arrested after being
shot by a Cricket Wireless employee. Ryan Lee Baca Bosiljevac made his first appearance in court Tuesday and a judge ruled he will remain behind bars until his trial. But he wasn’t the only one arrested – APD also arrested the Cricket Wireless employee, Abraham Robledo.

But the
Cricket employee, Abraham Robeldo, is now facing charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. According to the criminal complaint, that’s because he left the scene of the crime to chase down Baca Bosiljevac after he had left the store.

When Baca Bosiljevac was arrested, he confessed to 15 robberies over the last month. He hit multiple Keva Juices, Pizza Huts, Metro PCS, Cricket Wireless, and the Pyro Smoke Shop. But investigators said Baca Bosiljevac’s robbery days were halted when a Cricket Wireless employee followed him outside and shot him. Other stores said they were also prepared to defend themselves if the robber came back.

Did he shoot him in the back? I think the employee will suffer as much or more than the thief Walleye Oct 2021 #1

2. Investigating the Link Between Gun Possession and Gun Assault

Abstract

Objectives. We investigated the possible relationship between being shot in an assault and possession of a gun at the time.

Methods. We enrolled 677 case participants that had been shot in an assault and 684 population-based control participants within Philadelphia, PA, from 2003 to 2006. We adjusted odds ratios for confounding variables.

Results. After adjustment, individuals in possession of a gun were 4.46 (P < .05) times more likely to be shot in an assault than those not in possession. Among gun assaults where the victim had at least some chance to resist, this adjusted odds ratio increased to 5.45 (P < .05).

Conclusions. On average, guns did not protect those who possessed them from being shot in an assault. Although successful defensive gun uses occur each year, the probability of success may be low for civilian gun users in urban areas. Such users should reconsider their possession of guns or, at least, understand that regular possession necessitates careful safety countermeasures.

It took me longer to cut n paste than it did for google to find this little tidbit . . .

Meanwhile the NRA and GOA are STILL quoting a 2013 book by Lott that has been so thoroughly debunked on both a factual and research methodology basis they should be embarrassed.
