Robbery victim shoots two of the robbers in Pineville area

quote:

---

The Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office told us that a person attempted to rob Lee Rays General Store, and the owner shot the person.

But Lee Rays owner, Frank Issa reached out to News Channel 5 letting us know that there was more to the story than what investigators are releasing, and that he had surveillance video to back it up.

---

quote:

---

He gave us a copy of the video to see for ourselves.
The video shows not one, but three men entering Lee Rays in wearing hoods and masks over their faces, one of them was carrying a gun.

That's when Issa's brother distracted the attempted robbers, allowing Issa to grab his own gun. Issa began shooting at the three men, he said he hit one in the stomach and one in the arm.

quote:

---

We spoke with Sheriff William Earl Hilton, he told us one victim is still in the hospital, and the other was treated and has been released to his parents. They are still searching for the third suspect.

---

Is there anything as to why the Sheriff said 1 person robbed the store?

Missed the last line

quote:

---

Their names have not been released, and no word on any charges yet against the three.

---

If the store owner has them on camera robbing the store what’s the issue with charging them?

Sounds shady

Dey dindu nuffin wrong.

Amen

Strange why investigators only said one dindu though.

That's the way we do in the 'ville.

I've been to Lee Ray's many a time.

Right by the old Pineville/Wardville ballparks. Passed by there many a time going to the ballpark for junior high league games

Fake news. There’s no such thing as a good guy with a gun. CNN told me.
