LAKEWOOD, Colo. – The owner of a check cashing store in Lakewood shot one suspect and scared off another during a robbery attempt Saturday evening, police said.

At around 7 p.m., two suspects entered Cambio De Cheques on the corner of Colfax and Reed.

“The store owner reported that two males approached him as he was closing his business for the evening, sprayed him with mace and then tried to take the money he was carrying,” said Lakewood Police Det. Ryan McKone

The owner shot one suspect in the leg. The other suspect fled the scene.

“The suspects in this case may be involved in other robberies that have occurred across the metro area,” said Det. McKone.

The store owner will not face charges.

Glad to hear she won't be giving birth to any peppers (that could hurt!), or that her peppers won't be getting pregnant. Or something.

Well, if she did the bad news is that the offspring would be vegetables.

If I’d been pepper-spayed, I think I’d shoot someone, too. Anyone! Starting with the surgeon!

It’s a weird morning, language-wise. Maybe because it’s Feb. 29.

I’d rather go back to bed until March, but since that’s not an option, carrying-on will have to do.

This is how I read this headline: Pepper-spayed check cashing clerk shoots robbery suspect(CO)

There was a paper check who was made infertile, who went into a store to cash out her clerk -- who she happened to be carrying -- but upon arriving at the store, she shot the word 'robbery'. Police suspect the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) caused the problem.

No doubt! If they were that careless or inept all the time, who knows what might happen! We might end up with DEMOCRATS in office....oh, wait...
