Four men who robbed four teenagers at gunpoint this weekend are in the Lowndes County Jail, according to Lowndes County Sheriff Charles Williams and as reported by WSFA.
The four teenagers are reportedly from Greenville.
According to WSFA, Williams said the teenagers were leaving a gas station in Fort Deposit when they were forced off the road by an automobile.
The four gunmen inside robbed the two females, while the two males were able to escape.
Williams told WSFA that one of the suspects shot at a traveler on had stopped to help, barely missing the driver’s head.
In custody said Williams are:
Jihard Walker, 18; Layne Terrell Ware, 24; Torrie Wilson, 22; and James Steiner, 19.

Put their 'mug shots' in the paper. None appear to be minors.

How heroic - two men escaped and left the women behind to be robbed....

I wonder why the two men decided to leave and fight another day, leaving the women behind to be robbed....

If my guy took off and left me to be robbed, he would have bigger problems when I caught up with him.

these were kids, not men. I think they were told "run or be shot". what would you do?

What would you do in these circumstances? There was a gun and remember these were not "men" they were 16 year old boys. You need to remember this before making some of these statements. You can say what you would have done, but until you are facing four "MEN" holding a gun and shooting you never know what you will do.

It's just a sad story all the way around. I'm sure none of us would be thinking straight in this situation - especially these young boys who ran for their lives, perhaps not thinking that their dates could be left behind to be robbed or raped or killed. To know that Ft. Deposit has such a bad crime problem, and only one cop, is even sadder....and it's just a matter of time until that kind of crime spills over to neighboring communities like Greenville.
