Mobile, Alabama – An attempted armed robbery at a Family Dollar store took a dramatic turn when one of the intended victims fought back, leaving the suspect, 18-year-old Adric White, with gunshot wounds. White, who was already out on bond for a previous robbery, allegedly held store employees at gunpoint before an armed Good Samaritan intervened, shooting him and thwarting the crime.

The Robbery Attempt

According to authorities, Adric White entered the Family Dollar store wearing a mask and wielding a firearm. Witnesses say he pointed the weapon at the cashier and demanded money from the register, ordering employees and customers to comply with his demands. What White did not anticipate was the presence of a legally armed citizen who decided to take action.

A customer inside the store, who happened to be carrying a concealed firearm, witnessed the situation unfold and saw an opportunity to prevent a potentially deadly encounter. Acting swiftly, the armed customer drew his weapon and fired multiple shots at White, striking him several times and stopping the robbery attempt before it could escalate further.
