Baton Rouge Singer Shoots Robbers

The shooting happened around 3:00 Tuesday morning at Boss Lady Lounge on Plank Road. Police have not identified the man who shot one of the armed robbers, but family members say it was 40-year-old Darnell Neal, a Baton Rouge singer.

Police say while a group of musicians was loading their equipment into a vehicle, two masked men approached them. One of the men carried a sawed-off shotgun. Police say they robbed three of the musicians, but the fourth, supposedly Neal, grabbed a handgun from the vehicle and shot one of the robbery suspects several times. Police say he also fired at Poche, who managed to get away until being arrested around 12:30pm.

The suspect who was shot was taken to a Baton Rouge hospital with critical injuries and has since been transported to a hospital in New Orleans for additional treatment. Police have not released his identity because he has not been charged yet.

None of the robbery victims were hurt during the shooting. The investigation continues.

I'm starting to see a trend here.

Shooting the fuck out of armed criminals = the new black

[doctorbulldog]

It has ALWAYS been "the black."

Allowing an armed criminal to rob and/or shoot you when you have the means to defend yourself is "the pink..."

this singer should thank his lucky stars he wasn't a rapper or he would've been charged immediately and sentenced to life without parole.

@goldenthoth

Have you never heard that expression?

"Charcoal gray is `The New Black'"?

There's even an Every Time I Die song called The New Black.

What exactly are you unclear about?
