Dominican Republic robbers pick wrong shop

This recording-of-a-recording covers an attempted robbery which occurred in the Dominican Republic on 27 February 2025. Two armed criminals are shown ransacking a store in Villa Mella as the shopkeeper feigns compliance. However, they're not going to have it all their own way. Periodically, you can observe the man behind the counter cheat toward drawing his concealed handgun. Incredibly, despite being caught moving at least twice, both would-be bandits take their eyes off him, allowing him to draw and shoot. He appears to have to rack it before getting to work, but he allegedly managed to kill one and wound the other as they fled. I'm of the opinion that taking time to rack the slide before getting in a gunfight is like your seatbelt- you should have thought of that before imminent trauma- but you can't argue with results. I am not versed in Dominican Republic law, but community requests that the shopkeeper not be charged seem to imply that he's in trouble for shooting them outside the store as they ran.
