Fox 10 TV MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The family of a suspected thief is lashing out after their son was shot during an armed robbery.
Relatives of Adric White, 18, believe the Good Samaritan who opened fire should have “just left the store.”
FOX10 spoke exclusively with a customer who stepped in to rescue employees held at gunpoint Tuesday, November 12.
The Good Samaritan, who we are not identifying, told FOX10 News he was shopping at the Family Dollar on Stanton road when he noticed a masked gunman leading one of the employees to the front of the store.
“He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” said the man. “I drew my gun on him and I said ‘Hey don’t move.’ At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”
White was transported to USA Medical Center, where he remains in police custody.
A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with.
“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him – what gives him the right to think that it’s okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”
FOX10 had interviewed White’s parents but they later called and demanded the video not be aired.
Court records show that White was out on bond for robbing The Original Oyster House at gunpoint a little more than a month before the Family Dollar robbery.
We asked one relative her thoughts about the accusations.
“We don’t know. Like I said, we don’t know anything. We only know what we’ve been hearing second hand through the news. I would not like to comment because I don’t know,” she said.
Records show the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office has now filed to have White’s original bond revoked.
Relatives said they have not been able to see the teen at USA Medical Center since he remains in police custody.
Meanwhile, Mobile Police have also arrested 19-year-old Tavoris Moss as an accomplice to the Family Dollar robbery.
Police maintain that the Good Samaritan who opened fire was justified and broke no laws.

Seriously? I don’t even know where to begin with the complete and utter stupidity of this statement. These are the kinds of “intelligent” people we have walking around our country? God help us all!
The only consolation here is that people this stupid will be the first ones to be removed from the gene pool once the revolution starts.
FAR too stupid to survive long without (so-called) ‘government’ assistance.
couldn’t have said it better …. mf crap and these people vote mind you
Since voting is a total fraud anyway, it’s hardly a consideration.
wonder if these people know how to read or write.
Screw that. I wonder if they even know what a paperback book is.
Wait! Saying “paperback” is still too much thinking for them. Let me re-phrase that.
I wonder if they even know what a book is.
this pos piece of vermin is lucky to be alive. his family should take some of the blame for this kind of behavior as well. maybe arrest THEM as well, and prosecute THEM for not bringing him up in a manner that would discourage this kind of behavior. then put him away for a very long time.
The only thing I see wrong with this story is that the perp isn’t dead. Perhaps the vigilant citizen might consider a bit more range time !
Vigilant national (hopefully).
I love it when the parents of this social trash start defending the indefensible. It just shows that the stupid gene was very successful at spreading itself around. But I wonder if there is maybe more at play here. I will refrain from pointing it out because I do not like to invite anyone to engage in it.
I think we will lose a lot of people in the coming problems. But I also think it may have to be that way to clear the junk ot of our societies. And I am not talking about one socio-economic level more than any other, it is pervasive.
I want to leave a better place for my grandkids, and the only real problem this planet has is people. Not all of us but too many of us are a real problem. Maybe it will solve itself when hunger, cold, illness become the new american way. Oh wait it pretty much already is. So we are in the mixing bowl lets see what comes out.
The relatives making this look & sound like someone shot their dawg for pissing on the neighbor’s lawn. Another mortared brick in the wall of “Don’t let them reproduce”. Hope this doesn’t go into a Obama’s “My son” horsesh!t saga.
“At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”
If someone was turning around with a gun to shoot me, I’D sure as hell want to shoot him.
First choice?
Head shot.
Hmm…I don’t know. Shooting them in the balls would leave a better, lasting impression though, wouldn’t it, #1. lol
