According to police, three juvenile males from Middletown approached two adult males outside the Dayton Mall around 10:00 a.m. Saturday. They say one of the juveniles produced a gun and demanded merchandise from the adult males. Police say one of the males, who had a valid concealed carry weapon permit, pulled out a gun of his own and shot the teen who had the gun. That teen, identified as Jawaad Jabbar, 16, died from a single gunshot wound. [More]If only they would disarm you and me!

Place me in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm at your peril. It has nothing to do with the tennis shoes in my hand and all to do with the gun in yours.
