Rutland Vermont. From the article: “Don Pitaniello said Monday hes been suspended from his job as a clerk at a North Main Street convenience store after drawing a gun on a knife-wielding robber Sunday night.” Definitely time to find another job-boss. Maybe if his boss worked a few night shifts he would change his outlook.
Not to pick nits, but there’s nothing in the article that identifies the state. It is customary for a poster to place the state name in the keywords section. And since the entire article text was posted and not excerpted, there’s no need to click a link.
