Pulling stick-ups is such a demanding profession. You never know when people are going to go all OK Corral on you:
Police say a man who tried to rob a store ended up being shot by the store owner, and snagged by his own shoelace when he tried to get away.The owner of the New Way Supermarket at 3385 N.W. 22nd Ave. said an armed man came into the store and tried to rob it. The store owner and his employee both pulled out guns, and all three began firing.
The would-be robber was struck in the chest by the gunfire. He ran from the store with the owner and employee in pursuit.
A short time later, police found the robbery suspect hanging upside down with his shoelace caught in a fence he had tried to climb over.
Shoelace Joe's in critical condition. The store owner and his employee won't be charged in the shooting.
