Independence, Missouri



From KMBC-TV, Kansas City, Missouri, January 8, 2004:

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Gunfire erupted at Kern's Liquor Store at 9014 East 40 Highway on Thursday after robbers burst into the store, KMBC's Martin Augustine reported.



The robbers and the clerk were armed, and a shootout took place between them. The clerk was shot in his chest, but the wounded man managed to hit the alarm, and police were dispatched to the scene.



Officers called an ambulance for the clerk, but said he does not have life-threatening injuries.

There's surveillance camera video available here. And this story here suggests that has been a recurring bad habit.



Thanks to Wince & Nod for the pointers!
