KSDK news (St. Louis) is reporting that a teenager, at approximately 1:00 pm 11/23/10, is shot in the buttocks while trying to steal a bag of potato chips. Apparently, the young man and two of his buddies entered Myrt's Northland Market, on 2814 North Kingshighway and attempted to steal a bag of potato chips when the 50 year old lady-employee noticed the act. Upon confronting the guys, they gave her the chips back. Now, according to the lady-employee, one of the three teenage boys pulled out a gun. In response, she states that she then shot him in the buttocks.
REALLY?!
The injured child is in the hospital recovering from the wound, while the second is being charged with petty theft, and the third hopped on the bus and got away. Meanwhile, no weapon was found. OK, back to the lady-employee's statement.
While police say she is very shaken-up by the incident and was treated by EMT, they all seem to be totally buying her story. Now, I'm no detective, but allow me to point out a few inconsistencies (if you will).
First: She asked for the stolen chips back and they returned the item with no argument
Second: Out of nowhere, one kid pulls out a gun (for some chips?)
Third: She shoots the kid in the buttocks.
OK, if the kid returned the chips with NO argue, why would he pull out a gun? What's his motive? Also, how did a gun magically appear in her hands? It didn't. She must've approached these kids with the gun out already. Then, she shoots him in the buttocks? How would the bullet magically go towards the kid, then make a wicked 180 degree turn to hit him in the rear? It wouldn't. Apparently, the kid was running away. In addition to all this, the police never found a weapon?
REALLY?!
Now, I'm all for justice but c'mon, man. Is this where the system is now....where a woman can shoot a kid, cry, blame the kid (with zero evidence), and be seen as a hero? I'm just saying....if the she were a he, I'd have a whole different outcome to report.
