St. Louis, Missouri
I hope the shooter doesn't claim to have been standing his ground or acting in self-defense.
You don't get to shoot people to death because you're pissed off. But that's what appears to have happened in this case...............over an effin' dollar's worth of candy.

Taleb Rebhi Ali Jawher - 39 (pictured left) was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Christopher Simmons -34 (pictured right).
The shooting reportedly occurred at a gas station in St. Louis, on Sept. 26, after the victim was accused of stealing a bag of candy, worth $1.10, from the gas station.
Court documents said Jawher, a clerk at the gas station, confronted Simmons and the two men argued. Jawher pointed a gun at him and Simmons left the store.
The store clerk then reportedly followed Simmons outside and confronted him again, before shooting him in the back of the head.
When police arrived on the scene, Simmons was found dead outside the store. Simmons reportedly “did not steal or leave the store with candy,” according to the police report. Police arrested Jawher at the time of the incident.
Dorothy Simmons, the victim’s mother, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the family is trying to “find some peace” after the loss of her son. "He was a wonderful young man who was taken from us too soon," she said.
