Attempted robbery
Antwjan McClelland
A suspect in the attempted robbery of Huntington’s Jewelry was arrested after he went to a hospital to seek treatment for multiple gunshot wounds.
He was identified by Metro Police Friday as Antwjan McClelland.
Around 4:50 p.m. on Thursday, McClelland and another suspect went into the jewelry store located at 7385 W. Sahara Ave. near Tenaya Way, Metro Police said, and demanded cash from the cash register.
McClelland, who police said was wielding a gun, was shot multiple times in the arm by an employee and the suspect returned fire. That’s when the two suspects fled.
About 30 minutes later, police said, McClelland was admitted to Sunrise Hospital with apparent gunshot wounds to his arm.
Police said the other suspect is still at large and described him as a black man standing about 5 foot 9, and weighing 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and a white baseball cap and white shoes, police said.
Police believe a third suspect may have been involved.
Police said McClelland was charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon, robbery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and burglary while in possession of a firearm.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Too bad it wasn"t the morgue.
Too bad it wasn't "multiple times" in the head.
Nary a peep from the usual anti-gun gang? C'mon guys, we know you're out there. Go ahead and use that 1st Amendment right of yours to remind us again why we should be denied our 2nd Amendment rights?
Maybe next time robber will think twice. We give into these robbers too much, its time to take our streets back. There is no future in crime because its just what future you had away.
Thinkdifferent,
Not likely the store owner used an AR,AK,FN or HK w/ 30+ Magazine to exercise his 2nd Amendment Rights. This story,like 500 more just like it across the country today, has nothing to do with proposed restrictions.
Have you READ the 2nd Amendment? "A well regulated militia......" Regulated and denied rights are not the same.
Hope the employee gets a Bonus.....
Put me on the jury...PLEASE!
The employee needs to spend more time on the gun range.
LOL this is what I like to hear, employee shoots the bad guys , too bad it was in the arm and not a fatal shot. Remember now business owners shoot to kill and don't stop shooting til the clip is empty,,,then reload.
Another nail in the coffin of those who want to disarm honest, hard-working American citizens. Under their thumbs, the employee in the jewlerly store would have been defenseless and a certain victim. He may also have been severly injured or killed, but that wouldn't mean a thing to the whackos on the left and their esoteric agenda which disarmed him. They'd be safe and snug in their pampered lives. As for the rest of us? They couldn't care less!
Here we go again with the fallacy of composition of the far right accusing that the left is against all guns. Far from the truth I'm more left than right I also believe in the 2nd admendment as well but i don't believe all guns are for use in the private sector.
I also commend the employee for their brave act and I too wish the shots would have been fatal to the theif and that their co-conspirator would be charged for attempted murder as well.
I think this will never go to trial he will give up his partner for a plea deal.
Only a minority of people on the left want to take all the guns away. The rest of us merely want sensible provisions to ensure more responsible gun ownership on the part of some gun owners. No one gets absolute 1st Amendment rights - you don't, for instance, get to publish lies about someone without consequence - and neither should the 2nd Amendment be "anything goes."
People forget that the Constitution can be changed. We can alter amendments; we can eliminate amendments; we can replace amendments. No right is absolute.
In this particular story, I would contend that a store owner has a right to protect his/her life and property, and the gun use was justified.
I bet if you ask his family, he is a good person! I want to be on the jury.
Jerry Fink Grow up! No one wants to disarm honest,hard working American citizens. When will you lying,NRA fools get it that it is semi automatic assault rifles and large clips that the intelligent gun owners like myself want elininated? Just keep lying Fink that is what extremists and obstructionsits do when they know the facts are against them. Idiots one and all!
The boy just does not look very smart.
Lock up 'ol auntie-jwan for life.
No plea deal for this scumbag...life with no parole.
According to the mission statement and vision of the ACLU ... Armed Robbery on your resume shows an employer that you are a Go Getter!
Just turned 18. Pathetic. Another ward of the state. For what?...a couple hundred dollars you're willing to kill and risk spending the next 40 years in a 6 x 9?
IF the Perp has ANY brains, he'll cop a plea. A judge is gonna be much more lenient than a jury. So if he PLEADS GUILTY, he will serve less time. And maybe he'll figure out that doing what he's been doing is just not working for him.
"And maybe he'll figure out that doing what he's been doing is just not working for him."
I disagree; he will go into prison as an apprentice and come out a craftsman.
How do you pronounce Antjwan? Is that for real?
@davis296... Yes, I have read the Constitution...I even understand it to boot. If I am to believe you, the entire Bill of Rights applies to individual rights....all except for the 2nd, which suddenly is only a collective right. The Federalist Papers, not to mention modern day Supreme Court rulings, show you to be in the wrong. But thanks for implying I haven't read the Constitution. Good one. Next I suppose you'll come back with the ol "the 2nd Amendment was only in there only for hunting...." Yawn, yup, and the 1st Amendment didn't list anything about the Internet either. Looks like your buddies Holder and Obama should come to your house then and take away your iPad. I mean the "logic" only follows, right, Baaaaaaaahhhhhh!
The store owner should purchase a semi-auto assault type shotgun with a 20 round drum magazine.
Justice served, tax payer spared, case closed.
