Man shot during robbery, police say

Greenfield - A man who tried to rob a Greenfield gun shop at knifepoint Thursday afternoon was shot in the chest by the shop owner, police said.

The victim, identified only as a 57-year-old Greenfield man, was taken to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa, according to police.

Police have yet to interview the victim because the shooting left him unconscious, Detective Sgt. Paul Schlecht said.

Schlecht said later Thursday that the man's wound was not life threatening. The man's condition was not available Thursday evening from Froedtert.

Schlecht said the shooting took place at about 3 p.m. inside Buckhorn Guns, one of four businesses located in a plaza in the 2700 block of W. Ramsey Ave.

The parking lot of the plaza was surrounded by yellow police tape Thursday afternoon as police investigated the shooting.

Schlecht said he did not know what the suspect demanded but said there is nothing to indicate the account of the incident that the store owner gave police was not true.

He said the store owner, 44, shot the man once in the chest and that apparently no one else was inside the store when the shooting took place. The store owner was not injured.

Schlecht said the case is being referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney's office, which will review the actions of the suspect and the shop owner. A case review could happen today, he said.

Jessica Hansen of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

Um... I dunno what's going on, but this "what you see is what you get" editor is screwing up with I'm using side karots. Don't mind the edit since the editor made it all backwards misformatted and such

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I have never seen a gun store in which the employees were not all carrying loaded pistols. This guy was either seriously stupid, mentally ill, or on drugs.

Am I missing something...should he have stabbed him or something? Is it illegal to defend yourself with more than the attacker has?

Or perhaps its the robbers fault for bringing a knife to a gunfight. :p

/EDIT...YEP I MISSED THAT IT WAS A GUN SHOP. :D lol

Hehe....there was a similar incident this week here in Atlanta where some dumbass tried to jack a car with a BB gun and the owner of the car whipped out a .45 and blasted him. Stupid criminals = funny.

As said before,

a jury will probably award him 10 million dollars because he is now disabled...

Sad !!!

Where the hell does Adul get off complaining about anyone's spelling with the way he spells?


I don't know what is worse, someone robbing a gun store with a knife or a gun store owner who can't kill in one shot. Too stupid to live is a rule that applies to this theif.
