MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The family of a suspected thief is lashing out after their son was shot during an armed robbery.

Relatives of Adric White, 18, believe the Good Samaritan who opened fire should have “just left the store.”

FOX10 spoke exclusively with a customer who stepped in to rescue employees held at gunpoint Tuesday, November 12.

The Good Samaritan, who we are not identifying, told FOX10 News he was shopping at the Family Dollar on Stanton road when he noticed a masked gunman leading one of the employees to the front of the store.

“He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” said the man. “I drew my gun on him and I said 'Hey don't move.' At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”

White was transported to USA Medical Center, where he remains in police custody.

A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with.

“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him - what gives him the right to think that it's okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”

FOX10 had interviewed White’s parents but they later called and demanded the video not be aired.

Court records show that White was out on bond for robbing The Original Oyster House at gunpoint a little more than a month before the Family Dollar robbery.

We asked one relative her thoughts about the accusations.

“We don't know. Like I said, we don't know anything. We only know what we've been hearing second hand through the news. I would not like to comment because I don't know,” she said.

Records show the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office has now filed to have White’s original bond revoked.

Relatives said they have not been able to see the teen at USA Medical Center since he remains in police custody.

Meanwhile, Mobile Police have also arrested 19-year-old Tavoris Moss as an accomplice to the Family Dollar robbery.

Police maintain that the Good Samaritan who opened fire was justified and broke no laws.

My little angel didn't do a thing wrong, even though he is on bail for robbing some other store. The customer should have just let him kill the worker. Wah, get over it you breeders of thugs and criminals. I'm tired of hearing that they're regulars at church, sing in the choir, and volunteer at the animal shelter. Send his butt to jail for the max and tell you to shut your pieholes. /rant

What this family is saying is that they want their child to be free of consequences for breaking the law.

With fucktard family like that, no wonder he grew up to be a piece of shit. Stupid games, prizes, etc...

He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees

Sounds like a possible execution getting ready to happen. In that situation (providing I was sure of the ID of goblin vs employee, which seems pretty clear in this case, what with choir boy wearing a mask and all), I wouldn't wait to see.

Family needs to STFU. I think what's worrying them is if this type of activity increases it's likely to impact their method of picking up some extra walking around money.

The punk obviously already has criminal history. One doesn't jump right into armed robbery.

The family isn't stupid, or misunderstood, or any of that crap.

They're just on the other side.

Uuuh, Alabama law gives him the right.

I'm not one to blame the family, because my siblings have six honest, law-abiding, tax-paying, family-rearing folks, and one stone criminal. But we don't blame other folks because our brother is a criminal. However, we've never faulted anyone for stopping our brother from being an idiot.

This family though? There is some special stupid in that gene pool.

Bill them for the bullets.

I am amazed that in Alabama, particularly Mobile, the would-be robber is still alive.
