Robbery/Non-Fatal Shooting Update

IMG_5383
The location where I believe the shooting occurred.

Here's what I've been told:
Per MPD, the shooting occurred at 1369 A [NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT ADDRESS] (a market that is presumably the One Stop) on the corner of Florida and Staples. Four black male teenagers (estimated to be between 15-17 years of age wearing hooded jackets attempted to rob the corner store. During the attempt they shot the owner in the foot, and then fled into Trinidad. This market is directly across the street from the BP station.

The map shows it in the middle of the street, but it is (see the photo above) actually on the corner.

I'm sorry to see this news...especially when the keeper of this blog just got done commenting on how violent (specifically deadly) crime has gone down so much...and that part at the end where the perpetrators fled to trinidad wasn't alarming...
