The article states, "A pizza shop employee attempted to stop the man when the attempted robber put his hands around the employee’s neck. The employee’s son, a 14-year-old boy, grabbed a gun, legally owned by the employee, from behind a counter and shot the attempted robber in the face."
I don't see where the robber put his hands around anyone's neck.
I watched the video several times. The gun was behind the counter because that's where the kid was. It was in his pocket. He struggles to pull it out. I don't see any time that the robber's hands are around a neck. He's fighting for the cash tray.
I think it's justified but the article is wrong on the details.
