Man arrested after he shoots Would-Be Robber............


http://www.themilwaukeechannel.com/news/13714184/detail.html?rss=mil&psp=news

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police arrested a man Wednesday night after he shot a man allegedly trying to rob him.

Police said the alleged robber was trying to hold up the Sav More on 24th and Locust streets.

The 22-year-old entered the store, pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money, police said.

According to police, another clerk entered the room with a gun and shot the suspect -- who was struggling with the first clerk -- in the foot.

The suspect fled, and police said they caught him at 26th and Burleigh streets and was taken to an area hospital.

Police said the suspect was apparently asking residents who were outside to help hide him from police, but instead, they pointed him out to police when they arrived

The 34-year-old employee was arrested because he shot someone, but it is permitted for there be a gun inside the store.

Authorities said they were not sure what if any charges will be filed against the shooter. That will be determined by the district attorney's office.

I was amazed and dismayed but not really suprised.

I was also wondering when it would show up here in the HTF...

I read it twice thinking I read it wrong the first time. Just goes to show how twisted things are here.

It's funny.  I know I should be appalled but I would be surprised if it had gone down any other way.

So now we don't have the right to self defense, what's next?

Hopefully the DA will do the right thing, but he should have never been arrested

I've driven by that place a few times, I've always asked myself how many times a week it gets robbed.
