Here's my second part the article and the responders. I want to say great job to the Cary Police officer who did an outstanding job in apprehending the violent, armed criminal. It's because of brave people like her and other Law Enforcement Officers that people in this area can sleep comfortable at night. And for all those posting about gun control. Do you guys not understand that by taking awawy the right to bear arms you are taking away the right to defend ourselves and our family. These three criminals would still have guns if the liberals get their wish. So, lets go after the criminals with the guns and those who provide the illegal guns to them. Let's not forget the "Fast and Furious" travesty that left one border agent dead that our government allowed to flow into mexico and into the hands of the cartels. Anyway, thank you Officer for such a great job and for all those who posted remarks thanking her..Thank you. Thanks for the support of all Police and Military worldwide

yes this stuff happens in Durham and Fayetteville on a weekly and daily basis, along with much more violent crimes...attention is on this story simply because it was in Cary, period.

"And yet this entire article is about a female officer that captured an armed person who was with 2 of his partners in crime, that sort of destroys your whole point."

Nope. My original point was that if she had been male, more than one would have been captured.

"From the news stories and surveillance video, it appears the robbers buzzed an exterior entrance where the employee had limited visibility to see who was outside. The clerk assumed it was an arriving employee who was expected and let them in."

My next line did not make it - "The moral of the story is to always check the camera. Don't simply hit the release button."

"How do you mistake 3 men with hooded sweatshirts & mask as an EMPLOYEE????? Do their employees wear mask to work???? Sounds strange to me!!!" - lisa4

Vietnam Vet, I thought the "kneecaps" was fairly humane. Where would you have shot them?

If I was the jewelry store I would get a picture ID before I let them enter. Also a metal detector might be helpful. Man, $250K of loot is big. Good police work. Catch the others please and keep them in prison for a very long time! Too bad the officer at the scene did not pull her weapon and "hold" them there or shoot them when they ran away. And why doesn't the clerk in this store have a gun?

I would think there might be a good chance that they had tried to get in a few other stores in that very same area. just got lucky getting in this one.

Kudos to the Cary officer!! What I'd like to know is how in the world do you mistake three men in hoods and masks as an employee and then let them in a controlled access door??? Something fishy here!!! Some of y'all don't have a clue... Shoot them in the kneecaps...REALLY?? Somebody's watching too many TV shows and movies!
