A couple of wannabe thugs apparently\u00a0tried to turn a craigslist transaction into a heist in Shakopee yesterday.<\/p>\n
And while the article doesn’t say so explicitly, reading between the lines, it would appear the Fugs picked the wrong guy:<\/p>\n
Police radio reports indicated that the apparent victim of the attempted robbery had a handgun and fired at the would-be robber. Shakopee police and other law officers were looking for a silver-gray Chevrolet Venture van with at least two people inside, with at least one armed with a revolver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Radio reports indicated that the robber ran from the scene toward the White Castle restaurant near Walmart and then got into a vehicle, which reportedly got on Highway 169. The State Patrol was looking for the vehicle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The apparent victim was waiting near the Walmart garden center entrance for police. He apparently was not injured.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Police were planning to look at store video.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The article doesn’t say so explicitly \u2013 but waiting for the cops at the store after an incident is the behavior you’d expect from someone who took carry permit training.<\/p>\n
Kim Norton and Heather Martens, obviously, would have preferred that the victim submit meekly, and maybe die.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: \u00a0The Strib is being veeeeeeery slow to release the facts of this case, including who shot first and who shot who.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
