this is a news clip from a local robbery here in oklahoma. hats off to the lady behind the register. and she said thankfully she didnt break any bottles.


"The following is a news release of the event from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation:

At approximately 6:30 Thursday evening, a man wearing a ski mask and brandishing what appeared to be a .45 semi-automatic handgun attempted to rob the West Main Liquor store in Hugo. The clerk opened the register and the suspect began grabbing cash from the drawer.

The clerk pulled out a .38 revolver and shot the suspect one time in the upper torso. When that did not encourage the suspect to put down his gun, the clerk grabbed a shotgun and shot the suspect one time. The man, identified as 50-year-old Guy Wade Buck, walked outside the store where two Hugo police officers were standing.

Another person inside the store called 9-1-1 during the robbery and alerted police. The officers had just arrived when they hear the shotgun blast. The officers quickly apprehended the suspect who was flown to Wadley Hospital in Texarkana where he remains in critical condition. The gun was discovered to be a plastic air gun"

Hugo Police called in OSBI to assist in the investigation.

Oh no! I can't believe that wicked lady shot that poor old criminal Now he's going to be scarred for life, and due to the trauma, he may never be able to rob liquor stores again.

You see! This is what happens when just anybody is allowed to own a gun. How many more criminals have to suffer before you right wing extremists learn that guns are dangerous and eeeeeevil

Well, I'm surprised the news media hasn't spun the story like that yet. And setup a charitable donation collection for sufferers of "shot while robbing", and showed politicians and big companies pledging their tax deductible charity to that organization for good PR. :banghead:

So it hasn't happened..... yet!

*gets off of soap box*

Had a similar incident here last week. After a chase of a suspect in a stolen car, the winner of the 2006 Darwin Award for least likely to provide inteligent offspring, decides he's going to get out of the car with his replica handgun and just scare the cops away. The cops on the other hand thought differently and shot him. Fortunately he has now been removed from the gene pool but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before someone decides to sue the department on the basis that seeing as he was only using a fake gun it should be infered that he had no real intent to harm anyone and therefore the police must have used excessive force.:banghead:
