A man who put a container on a pharmacy counter, claimed it was a bomb and demanded prescription drugs left after the pharmacist wielded a shotgun.
The pharmacist at the Kansas City, Kan., pharmacy at 4501 Rainbow Blvd. fired at the would-be robber as he drove off in a car, police said.
It is not know if the robber or his car was hit in the incident about 11:30 a.m., they said. The bomb squad soon determined that the package was not a bomb.
I think I’d be inclined to ask the robber what he would do if I didn’t hand over the drugs. Is he going to kill himself if he doesn’t get what he wants?
As Clayton said, “Never bring a bomb to a gunfight.”
