Pregnant store clerk shoots would-be robber

ST. PAUL (AP) - A woman who pretended to have a gun while trying to rob a convenience store on St. Paul's East Side was shot by a pregnant store clerk.

The robbery suspect was shot near the collarbone and was in stable condition at Regions Hospital Saturday night.

Police aren't releasing the name of either woman.

They say the suspect was pretending that she had gun concealed in a paper bag and she scuffled with the clerk, who is in her ninth month of pregnancy.

The clerk was also caring for her toddler at the time.

The clerk was taken to Regions Hospital with cuts and scrapes.

Also........
Never, and I mean NEVER try to predict the response of a 9 month pregnant woman. I still remember my Ex in the final weeks of her "tour of duty". Now that was scarey!

Well atleast the robber didn't call her fat, or he would be dead.

I wonder if the clerk had a permit?? Cuz, just last week, some reporter claimed no one in MN that carries concealed with a permit has used a firearm to thwart a crime...
