St. Paul, Minn. — A convenience store clerk apparently shot a robbery suspect Thursday night near Lake Minnetonka, police said. The robbery suspect was recovering at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. South Lake Minnetonka Police Chief Brian Litsey says officers were called to the Lakeshore Market in Greenwood at about 10:30 p.m. "Two armed male suspects wearing masks had just fled the market after encountering the clerk inside, who was also armed," he said. "At least one of the suspects was wounded during the encounter with the clerk."

Police were unable to locate the second suspect. ...he's probably busy just getting his life turned around.

“””””Police were unable to locate the second suspect. ...he’s probably busy just getting his life turned around. “”””””””

He’s probably busy trying to overturn the CCW laws so his victims are no longer armed.

Usually armed clerks in stores are not concealed carry permit holders, they have a shotgun (or such) under the counter.

I’m assuming this was an Amish attack as typically no description of the perps is given!

The robbery suspect was recovering

So unfortunate when that happens.

Unless he's permanently paralyzed from the neck down. Then he's no longer a ‘perp’ but instead serves as a ‘lesson’ to others.

It is as if you read my mind about the con being a human billboard.

I left it out because we already have quite a few "examples"..... sometimes you got to cull the heard.

Or... hanging out his laundry.

The worst part of this story:

The robery suspect was recovering at Hennepin........

Better for us if he was cooling down at the county morgue.

It would appear that the clerk did not fire a shotgun......

“Police said the manager inside pulled out a gun and fired at the suspects, hitting one with a bullet.”

Thus my comment had the “some such”, as in that he probably had a shotgun (or some such) behind the counter, rather than being a concealed carry permit holder with a concealed pistol.

Once in the stomach and once in the leg. As it was the owner of the store that did the shooting, he may well have had a permit, but, as the owner of the store, he isn’t required to have one, legally.

Ah, yes. The lovely Apollonia Kotera in Purple Rain. Here she is about two years ago still looking pretty nice pushing 50.

First thing I though when I saw "Lake Minnetonka" ... :)

"That ain't Lake Minnetonka ... "

You can carry concealed in your place of business without a permit? Right ON!

In MN, if it is your business....yes. And, to and from your business...home and back.

And, if your boss (owner of the business) allows it.

I’m staying with this story to see if, indeed, this owner has a permit....

The local media is backing away from this story which is leading me to believe that not only is this a good shoot but a good shoot by a permit holder.

The local media hates good news...

;-)
