FORT
WAYNE, IND. -- A liquor store worker fatally shot a man trying to rob
the business, police said.
Two
men wearing masks, one of whom had a gun, entered the Cap n' Cork liquor
store in the city's downtown about 9 p.m. Monday, police said. One was
shot by a store employee near the store entrance.
The
other man escaped, and police officers were unable to find him despite
using a search dog to track him.
The
wounded man was pronounced dead soon after he was taken to Parkview
Hospital.
Other
people were in the store at the time of the shooting, but no other
injuries were reported, police said.
Police
on Tuesday were not releasing the name of the dead man or the name of
the store employee who fired the shot.
Investigators
were not certain how many shots were fired during the robbery attempt or
whether the would-be robbers used their weapon. A tape from a store's
video camera also was being reviewed, police said.

A liquor store I used to frequent had a sticker on the cash register that said:

Warning: Being shot to death during the commission of an armed robery is an occupational hazzard!

Armed robbery in downtown Fort Wayne--now there's a real good idea.

These pukes have got it all wrong. Best place to do liquor store robberies is in CA. Liberal courts and besides, if you get hurt you can sue the liquor store for it.

Gary,
If you get killed can you sue the store owner?

Get the right judge in a Cali civil court and a dead man could likely pro per and win.

In some parts of the country, the deceased Bad Guys' "heirs and assigns" could sue the store owner and probably win.
