In December, a Milwaukee man attempted to rob a corner market only to be
stopped by a female store clerk with a firearm.
The incident, which occurred on December 14, was caught on surveillance
video and shows a white man pulling a knife on a female clerk as she began
to ring him up for a small purchase.
After the attempted robber pulled his knife and began to yank at the cash
register, the female clerk pulled out a handgun from under the counter
causing the attacker to cower to the floor, then run out of the store in
haste leaving the cash behind.
Milwaukee police are looking for a white male, 25-35 years old, weighing 165
pounds.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Milwaukee police
at 414-935-7360.
A recent study by the CATO Institute found that during an 8-year period,
some 5,000 incidents where guns were used to stop a crime were reported in
the media.
Authors of the study warn gun-control advocates that if they “are truly
interested in harm reduction, they should pause to consider how many crimes
— murders, rapes, assaults, robberies — are thwarted each year by ordinary
persons with guns.”
Gary Kleck, Ph.D., a professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal
Justice at Florida State University in Tallahassee, found in a study he
conducted in the early 1990′s that 2.5 million crimes are prevented each
year by guns in the hands of private citizens. |
