They have a suspect

Is this just an ideal location to pull off a robbery--twice in such a short time?  could this have had help from the inside?  hate to think that ?

I, too, would bet drugs and easy money.  I just don't see anyone who was robbing a store out of concern for their family would fire a gun, up in the air or otherwise.

But, I could be wrong too.

Sindee,

I would bet drugs and easy money. I really have not lost enough hope in humanity to think that someone who needed to pay bills would rob a store. I could be wrong though.

I would love to ask why as well.

I wish I could talk to all of these people who has recently seemed to run rampant.  My question would be "Why?".  Are these people committing these acts because they need money for drugs or is it because they need to pay their rent and bills and have been looking for a job for months and this is the last resort for them to be able to keep their family together?

I am just curious about the "Why?".

My daughter works at a convenience store and I am always so worried about her.  Even more so on the nights she closes alone.  Fortunately, the location is frequented by Saline County Sheriff Department employees ( SHOUT OUT!!) and so that makes me feel a little better.  I always slow down because I can almost always count on there being "one" sitting there.

I believe this is the second time for this location in the last month or two.
