The co-owner of a Shawnee gun store was fatally shot and three suspects were wounded during an attempted robbery Friday afternoon.
The gunfight broke out after four robbers entered She’s A Pistol, at 57th Street and Nieman Road, about 2:10 p.m., according to Shawnee police.
Jon Bieker, 44, of Gardner, who co-owned the business with his wife, Becky Bieker, died later at a hospital, police said.
“Jon was a kind of a quiet guy, very conscientious,” said Sandy Kaspar, who for several years operated a sign language business on the lower level of the building.
“He and Becky took great pride in their store. I remember the day she came down to introduce herself to me; she was very excited. The store was their dream.”
The shooting started after one robber struck Becky Bieker in the face, police said. Police didn’t know who fired first or how the gun battle unfolded, but it left Jon Bieker and two robbers with critical gunshot wounds. A fourth person, one of the robbers, had less-serious gunshot injuries.
Jon Bieker and two of the robbers were taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
One of the robbers remained in critical condition Friday night, and the other was listed in fair condition. Another patient at Overland Park Regional was also in fair condition, but it was unknown if that was the other robber or Becky Bieker.
Another injured person was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital where a condition report was not available.

That's when all the robbers end up Dead Right There, and the good guys are all uninjured.
thanks
I’m sorry. Really.

I’ve asked this before. What kind of idiot tries to stick up a gun store?
Seriously, the political breakdown in Kansas is,
Governor: Sam Brownback(R)
Senate:
Republican: 32
Democratic: 8
House:
Republican: 92
Democratic: 33
If the Republicans want to start executing savage murderers again, they have more than enough clout to do so expediently. While granted, they seem to have a considerable number of RINOs, this is really no excuse for those who are conservative to not push for a resumption of capital punishment ASAP.
I’m merely inquiring whether the woman was returning the fire or the deceased store owner or nobody. Or, did the perps do all the shooting
Hyper sensitive, insinuating and insulting commenters like yourself accomplish nothing but stifle legitimate inquiry on FR.
As stated to another freeper this morning, I was merely trying to inquire whether or not the store owner man or the store owner woman was returning fire or was it the perps who were doing all the shooting or was it someone else that managed to shoot the robbers. As usual these days the writer of the story was and still is, unclear.
Since the woman had been struck in the face by a perps hand, it seemed legitimate to ask if that took her out of the fight or did she stay in it and successfully shoot the perps. If so, I was going to forward such news to my daughter as news about “one tough woman”, which she likes to hear about.
Your “too cute by ten” comment accomplishes nothing but discourage other Freepers from commenting.
If I mistook an innocent question about the female victim for a malicious innuendo, I apologize wholeheartedly.
Thank you. No problem.
wonder if main stream America will ever realize there is a real war going on in our Country?
I wonder if good men decide enough is enough and become PROACTIVE, how viciously they will be treated even by those that vote Republican.
the kind that never see consistent ass kicking from the good guys.
“Was it a good robbery before it went bad?”
Helluva good point.
Boo frickin’ hoo. Read the article before you make insinuations.

No, your remark was nothing more than innuendo insinuating the wife may have been cowering while her husband was murdered. Instead of attempting to say your comment was something other than what it was, the decent thing would be to simply apologize.
With your mind reading skills you must be in great demand! Maybe you should start charging.
In the meantime, I think most Freepers would prefer that you limit your comments to what they say not what YOU think THEY have in their mind!
Sir or Madam, I meant what I said and even IF I was “insinuating” what YOU say I was “insinuating” I certainly have a right on FR to submit a question along that line without having my “decency” questioned by someone that doesn’t even know me. If you did know me, I’m sure you would not make such a rash and unkind and offensive statement.
Indeed, it’s folks like you that lower the overall quality of discourse on FR because some people don’t like their “decency” being attacked by perfect strangers in the course of a simple discourse about a robbery/shooting. So, instead of commenting, they read attacks like yours and become discouraged to even submit a question lest their motives surrounding the question they submit be impugned by some hyper sensitive freeper on the other side of the world with too much time on their hands while in possession of zero facts.
So, my questions remain, if you ever find out who was shooting who, and including whether the woman that was in the fight was hurt so bad she was unable to continue the fight, and whether her bullets or her husbands actually impacted the perps, please let me know. Shootouts like this are indeed unusual and I would really like to know some more facts about what happened, notwithstanding the several mind readers habituating on Free Republic.
Well....now you’re claiming “victimhood”...you poor soul.
My (and others) posts were directed at your POST 22, which is innuendo, pure and simple. And it was innuendo directed at a decent woman newly widowed. If something looks like a turd and smells like a turd, its a turd. And it remains a turd despite all protestations from the person who deposited said turd that it is not a turd.
So I’ll now let you wallow in your victimhood; I want no further discussion with you.
I was not aware that you speak for “most Freepers”. Perhaps you should think about what you’re writing before you make insinuations about a crime victim (and widow).
I hope you keep your promise to not ever discuss anything with me anymore. I prefer adults to have a dialogue with.
Ozzy, I’m not going to argue with you anymore about what was in my mind when I wrote that comment because though you
think your a mind reader your not. Clearly, your just one to put your keyboard in gear before your brain when you wrote what you wrote.
Finding something constructive to do might help too. And, notwithstanding your crystal ball, I am still interested in who shot who?!
