Gus Augusto, a 72-year old store owner in Harlem, killed 2 robbers and injured 2 robbers in a failed (thanks to Gus and his gun) robbery attempt in his store.
Police said Augusto didn’t have a required permit for the weapon used in the headline-grabbing shooting the Daily News called a “Pump-Action Ending.” But he was a victim, police said, and no charges had been filed on Friday.
The shopkeeper was coy when asked whether, with his shotgun confiscated,* he had a backup. “I’m not going to tell you that,” he said.
Good for Gus—for defending himself, his employees, his property, and for not revealing if he has another gun.
