Four people were shot, three critically, during an attempted robbery at a gun store in a Kansas City, Missouri, suburb on Friday afternoon, authorities said.

An owner of She's A Pistol LLC gun store in Shawnee, Kansas, was critically wounded as were two of four people suspected of trying to rob the store, Major Dan Tennis of the Shawnee Police Department told a news conference.

Tennis said a female store owner was punched and injured in the incident. Two other suspects were able to flee the store, one of whom was also wounded, but surrendered to authorities at a house nearby, he said.

"There was a big gun battle, lots of shots fired," Tennis said.

We live in a country where thugs are treated as heroes, vets are allowed to die before getting health care, and a radical Muslim was elected twice as our President. It would not surprise me in the least if they tried to rob people at an NRA Police Shooting Championship. The moron apocalypse has been going full steam ahead with no end in sight.

Our gun store guys pray for someone to try that crap.

Most criminal just ram a stolen vehicle through the front of a gun store at 2:00 am, and steal the stuff.

GREAT name!

I think that there is a statute in Kansas saying a gun store owner/clerk can shoot to kill. They always carry.

If this were to happen at my local gun store the perps would have been DRT in seconds.

Same here - in CA, of all places. All employees are armed.

Every gun store I have ever been in all the employees carry openly. There is a lot of firepower present and ready - you would have to be really stupid or suicidal to try something in a gun store.

Let me guess, those pesky Amish again?

No names given ... I assume that they’re either Amish or Methodist.

Their slogan is “Don’t be a victim, Be A Pistol”

Probably misunderstood that old Willie Sutton comment about Banks.

close to KCK which is where almost every minority in Kansas lives.

Have you seen photos yet? BTW, I think the gun shop owner is woman. Prayers for her recovery. Or his.

[hmmmmm]

Husband and wife owners. The wife was punched in the face. Her husband has now died. News said the killers went in shooting.

Two Darwin Award Winners (if they have not bred yet)? Maybe a third?

Male owner died? :( Prayers for his wife and family. Sigh.

"... said a female store owner was punched and injured in the incident"

Apparently she stood her ground. Maybe the bad guys thought she would be a softie.
