 Jet Way Liquors 911 tape released 21-year-old Gibran Gayton walked into Jet Way Liquors last Tuesday, armed with a gun and demanding money. Instead of handing over the cash, the store's owner, Chuck Kellogg pulled out his gun and shot the man, then called police. Tuesday, the District Attorney's office said that it will not prosecute Kellogg because he was acting in self defense when he shot the would-be robber.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Colorado Springs Police released the 911 tape from that night. It starts with a dispatcher answering a call. "Colorado Springs 911, whats your emergency?" Kellogg answers, "This is Jet Way Liquors, I just shot a guy trying to hold me up." Moments after shooting the suspect, Kellogg calmly describes the situation to the dispatcher. "He's laying on the ground moaning." The dispatcher asks, "Where did you shoot him at?" Kellogg answers, Oh hell, I don't know." It would later be determined that Kellogg shot the man in the chest; he would die shortly after and police would later link Gayton to several robberies in Colorado Springs.
During the three minute conversation, you can hear Kellogg talking to Gayton, trying to calm him down. "just relax, we got the ambulance coming." He told the dispatchers that Gayton was lying on the floor unconscious, but breathing. The phone conversation ends when the police arrive at the liquor store. News First spoke with Chuck Kellogg Tuesday by phone. He declined an on-camera interview but said the he was happy with the District Attorney's decision not to prosecute him.
