Friday morning feel good story

Stacey sends us our feel good story this morning from Minnesota where a gentleman out for an evening stroll, came across a scene where two men were pounding on a market window and a bloody clerk was trying to keep them out;

“They seemed really agitated, super agitated,” said Matt Dosser, who was walking by about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. At first, “nothing made sense, then I saw the gun.”

Dosser, who has a permit to carry a gun, reached for his own weapon.

One of the robbers “turned around and looked at me,” Dosser recalled. “He stared at me. I had my weapon up. I didn’t point the gun at the person. I had it at the ready, out of the holster.

“His buddy said something to him,” Dosser continued, “and then he had this surprised look on his face, and they both ran to his vehicle and took off.”

Dosser went into University Market, finding some of its contents overturned and Ahmed wounded and screaming on the phone to 911.

Ahmed had tried to fight off his attackers, Dosser said. “One tried to distract him, and the other whacked him with a pistol,” Dosser said. “Somehow, he got them out of the store [and locked the door] and they were trying to get back in.”

Dosser said Ahmed had the “back of his skull split open pretty good.”

Dosser calmed the store owner and finished the emergency call for him, making sure to tell the dispatcher what he looked like so officers would not mistake him for one of the attackers.

A good guy with a gun at the right place at the right time.
