WHEAT RIDGE - Police are looking for a man who hit a woman with an assault rifle and then shot his way out of a cell phone store during a robbery attempt Thursday morning.
Wheat Ridge Police spokesperson Lisa Stigall says the call came in around 11:20 a.m. from Advantage Wireless on the 3900 block of Wadsworth Boulevard.

Stigall says a man entered the store with an M-16 assault rifle and demanded money. There were two women inside at the time, a store clerk and a customer.

The clerk, who asked not to be identified, said she thought the assault rifle was fake so she and a female customer tackled the man.



He then hit the customer in the head with the gun, but she was not seriously hurt.

Monic Garcia, the store owner's sister-in-law, said the man turned a key and locked himself inside the store. When he couldn't open the door, he fired several shots into the glass and escaped.

hmm...even the rich that afford full auto M-16's that cost 12K+ are robbing cell phone stores. guess the guy heard apple was coming out with a new phone and he was lied to.

the media needs to get their facts straight.

[DeusExMachina]

I was going to say...an M-16 would be worth more than anything you could get out of a cell phone store.

Sell the M-16 first. Buy a cheaper AR-15 and then you still have Bail money to get you're ass out of jail after you're arrested. Duhhh! [Tooth]

I have nothing but respect for a man with a plan.

It doesn't look like an M-16 it looks like a mini-14.

A cricket store? No offense but I think the At&T store would have a greater variety of smartphones and tablets. If your gonna shoot your way out of a store with an "M-16" which I'm sure is a stolen AR you might want to raise the ceiling on your expectations. May I also say that this rifle actually did assault something, does that mean ours are just rifles again?

[spleify]

It didnt look like an M16 to me I just saw it on the news. The front sight base was at the end of the rifle it looked like

[blackford76]

Wasn't a M-16, or an AR either.

[blackford76]

Looked like a Kel-Tec SU-16A, no wonder the women thought it wasn't a real gun.

[DeusExMachina]

I only got a good look when he shot the door, kind of looked like a Kel-tec carbine or Hi-Point actually.

[DFBrews]

Yup, after watching it again I would say your on the money.

Geez, don't you people learn? ALL black rifles are ASSAULT RIFLES and they are ALL automatic, highly likely they are M16's or AK-47's and most likely purchased illegally at a gun show and sold by the same guys who sold the Columbine shooters their goods - in the press' mind and until proven otherwise.

So, that was NOT a Kel-Tec Sub 2000, it was a heavily modified M16 assault rifle being wielded by a total right wing Christian conservative who had intended to then open fire in a nearby day-care center until the messianic news organization put the story out there.

Get your facts straight guys.

[Ah Pook]

I may be dumb here but don't most people use CC for phone purchases? [Dunno]

9 News is an oxymoron. [Censor]

Check out the documentary "Michael Moore Hates America," it's on Netflix instant watch. It uncovers the truth behind a lot of lies about guns and stuff in "Bowling For Columbine." Give this man a cookie, fat free, he just loves to twist the truth and mis-quote people.
Every gun is dangerous, but they don't have to be if in the educated, rational hands of a law abiding, 2nd Amendment supporting American.

[Ah Pook]

Michael Moore hates America and I hate Netflix. [Wink]

Ever since MM had the "debate" with Charlton Heston, who obviously (mentally) wasn't there, I have avoided the pork ball.

9news sucks for sure but I have to point out one minuscule positive here...the police spokesperson was quoted as saying "he had an assault rifle, WHICH WAS UNUSUAL." Thank you Mr. Policeman for pointing out that EBRs aren't commonly used in crimes. But they don't like black rifles simply because they look different not because of the actual number of crimes so that small statement from the police won't matter anyway.
