Clerk fires back at armed robbers
An alert store clerk fires back after four people hold up a metro clothing store in Kansas City.
Police said three juveniles and an adult walked into Big G's Clothing Store at 2620 Truman Road around 6 p.m. Saturday.
One of the juvenile suspects was reportedly armed with a silver revolver. He fired several shots and ordered everyone to get down on the floor, witnesses say.
The other three suspects stole several pairs of shoes.
Police said the juvenile suspect then fired about five shots at the owner as he ducked under a counter.
A store worker is said to have grabbed a 12-gauge shotgun, ran outside, and fired several shots at the suspects as they were leaving in a red Ford van.
Police later spotted the suspect vehicle on Interstate 70 and arrested six people: three juveniles and three adults.
They said the adults confessed to the crimes.
Sunday, prosecutors charged Leartis Grigsby, 19, Remus Grigsby, 17, and Romulis Grigsby, also 17, with robbery and armed criminal action.
Authorities said charges are pending for the juveniles as well.
