I work in the Dallas InfoMart, known in the Technology arena as the single largest technology community in the world. Sadly, our security here is unarmed. While they have about 15 guards on any given shift, none of them carry anything resembling a weapon, and as a result, they're fairly ineffective at protecting anything including themselves. This became sadly very clear last night...
About 3am, a black Ford F-150 pulled into one of the parking lots with its right front wheel missing. One of the security guards noticed him on his monitors and went to find out if the guy needed help. When the security guard approached, someone jumped out of the truck and shot him several times with a 9mm pistol. The security guard died shortly thereafter, while the man that shot him took off on foot and was quickly apprehended by police.
According to the guard watching the monitor, there was no struggle, no provocation, and no apparent reason for the suspect to shoot the security guard... Police have released no info indicating a motive for the murder, and the security guard had no prior aquaintance with his killer.
As of right now, there are no further details, but when I see a story on a local news site I'll post it.
Too close for comfort...just way too close.
