Hopefully the store owner shot the guy when he engaged. Please followup on that part of the story. We need property owners to defend their property against this scum.

Scott Shellenberger will probably pay more attention to charging the store owner with discharging a firearm. How dare him try to defend his property!

If the robber was armed with only a knife, ill presume the owner had the gun. Good for him. More people need to take a stand against criminals

I have a tremendous regard for our police officers and think the Perry Hall area is generally a very safe community. However, this incident is the latest in a series of very recent serious crimes that is starting to look like a pattern. I will be following up with the White Marsh precinct and encourage residents to attend the upcoming PHIA meeting where Captain Balog will speak.

Ronnie - Glad you had something to defend yourself with.

The robber brought a knife to a gunfight. Not too bright

This is just one of the reasons why I moved out or PH several years ago. I could see the writing on the wall, for what once was a nice community. Gutter snipe inner city thugs were over whelming the community with crime. You might as well change the name to Perry Hall City.

Not suprised at all. PH has been changing for the worse for over a decade now. Keep putting your heads in the sand and deny what the root of the problem really is.

Then why are you reading our Patch Jay. I suspect that there is crime in your neighborhood too; however, I am concerned that there have been three robberies in about 24 hours, two of which were armed and no one has been caught yet.

Christie you're right...stay off our Patch Jay! I'm sure there's a Patch for the one stop light town you reside in now...

Perry Hall is still safe...most of the crime you hear about is going on EVERYWHERE! The problem with the area is that Bel Air Road is the gateway to Baltimore City...just like any other main roadway, it has many problems. I commend the White Marsh Police for having a pretty good crime clearance rate, from what I am told. As far as the owner shooting the bad guy, good for him!!!

Definitely looks to be a pattern being established. The Rite Aid almost across the street one day and the Liquor store the next day ... who is next? I wonder how many witnesses were around.

Jay is in a safe place. He lives in his parents' basement. Glad he left!

the owner got in to his SUV and chased the get away car, thats what I heard on the radio/scanner......... and the driver of that car eventullyt went to the station and "turned himself in" I think he ws clamimng he was forced in to it, he said he droped theother guy off at Belair & erdman,thats what I heard on the scanner,id be curious abou the follow up on this,,,was he eventually charged?

How about a description? Tall, short, white, Asian, black, etc, you know the sort of information citizens can use to protect their selves. As this is a fine example of the fact that the police cannot protect you and one must protect themselves. However if the owner did fire his shots while the suspects were fleeing outside he violated the cardinal rule of one's life must be in danger to use deadly force and I would not be surprised if he is charged with something.

Wake up people and start voting in to office people that will give your 2nd Amendment rights to beable to protect yourself. Remember a gun in the hand is better that a police officer on the phone.
