NEW YORK MILLS, N.Y. (AP) — A man who shot a clerk Thursday at an AT&T store in central New York had been to the shop so many times to rant and rave that the company banned him, cut off his service and lodged a complaint that led to his handgun permit being revoked.
Police say Abraham Dickan apparently became enraged about the loss of his gun license.
Two days after the revocation became permanent, he returned to the store in New York Mills with a hit list in his pocket and wounded an employee.
An off-duty police officer then shot and killed Dickan.
AT&T had sent a letter to Dickan in March saying he was banned.
The letter said he had been visiting the store multiple times per week to intimidate the staff and make racial slurs, and had displayed a gun at least once before.
