A 31-year-old convenience store clerk suffered a minor gunshot wound late Friday when three masked men entered the business and one fired off a shot from a 30-30 lever-action rifle (think Chuck Connors in "The Rifleman"), Milwaukee Police said today.
The clerk a the Locust Quick Mart, 1432 W. Locust St., was grazed around 10 p.m., and was treated and released from a local hospital, according to Capt. Gregory Habeck.
The suspects were described as three African-American men, ages 17 to 18. Their motives were unclear, according to Habeck. The trio hadn't demanded money and left as soon as the shot was fired.

Boy carries Rifleman's Log. It looks like an inside joke.
Too funny, in my opinion.

Whoa now, I wouldn’t say that was obvious! Are you sure the perp wasn’t holding the gun sideways?

LOL ... I'm good friends with my sheriff, and one day I was sitting in his office and he was showing me a busted revolver he'd taken off a crook.
He was dry firing it and it wouldn't shoot (IIRC it was the trigger mechanism). Then he turned it sideways and pulled the trigger, and the hammer fired.
We decided then that busted trigger mechanisms are the reason why the hoodlums always turn their guns sideways.
