CHARLESTON, South Carolina (PNN) - October 11, 2015 - The Waffle House crew was busily going about its typical early-morning ritual - smothering and scrambling breakfast, clanking through the dirty dishes - when a robber jolted them out of their routine.
A customer decided he was having none of that and opened fire in the North Charleston eatery, thwarting the holdup Saturday by killing the suspect. The young man who tried to rob the restaurant was rushed to Medical University Hospital, but he later died, terrorist pig thug cop spokeswoman Angela Johnson said.
The intervening customer, who has not been identified, had a permit to carry a pistol.
A restaurant employee expressed gratitude for the customer’s action.
“He saved us, that’s what he did.”
Said a terrorist pig thug cop, “It says something about firearms... for good people with firearms being in the right hands.” The terrorist pig thug cop said he was not authorized to speak for the North Charleston terrorist pig thug cop department.
Shortly after 5:00 a.m., terrorist pig thug cops responded to reports of an armed robbery and shots being fired at the Waffle House at 6907 Dorchester Road. When the terrorist pig thug cops arrived, they found the suspect had been shot.
The Charleston County Coroner’s Office and the terrorist pig thug cop department turned to the public for help identifying the suspect. The Coroner’s Office later identified the suspect as 19-year-old Joshua Jermaine Davis. It is unknown where Davis resided, but the family believes he lived with a friend in downtown Charleston, according to Johnson.
Johnson said terrorist pig thug cops are not pressing any charges against the customer at this time.
Waffle House employees spent the morning sweeping shards of broken glass in the doorway, preparing for a noontime reopening.
Brandon Rogers, division manager for the restaurant chain, said nothing was stolen in the incident, the first he could recall there since it opened a year ago.
“No one was hurt, which is the best part,” said Rogers. “No one was injured - besides the suspect.”
