Shot in the Dark

One For The Good Guys

Armed robber tries to stick up a store in North Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Police responded to a report of an armed robbery just before 9 a.m. at the Handy Stop on the 2600 block of West Broadway Avenue. When officers arrived, they learned an armed suspect entered the store and attempted to rob it at gunpoint.

Armed store owner had a dissenting opinion:

Police said at some point, the suspect and the store owner exchanged gun fire. Nobody was hit as a result of the gun fire, and there were no injuries in the incident. The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived and is still at-large.

There are few news stories in the world that make me happier than criminal scum leaving the premises, in cuffs, on a stretcher or, Heaven forfend, a gurney (let’s not call it “happy” in this case), or even at a dead run with soiled undies as a law-abiding citizen sweeps up shell casings behind him. 

They’ve just got to set Michael Bloomberg spinning in the coffin he sleeps in.

    How about this one Mitch, a doctor with a c+c unloading on a crazy patient. The only sad part of the story is that the crazy gunman didn’t die.

    The Mpls 4th police precinct headquarters is less than 5 minutes away from the store, may as well be hours away when a thug is pointing a gun at you.

    “The incident remains under investigation, and anyone with information should call Minneapolis Police.”

    Any information related to what? We don’t even know for certain that the suspect was a man, let alone anything else even more identifiable. Who exactly does CBS think they are protecting by withholding information about a robber who attempted to use deadly force?

    Kinda funny that Bloomers went over to Israel where people carry real assault weapons legally.

    Bloomberg going to Israel was probably the only political move of his I agree with.
