Two men were shot during an apparent robbery Wednesday at the Smoker King Liquor Store at 1951 W. Uintah St., Colorado Springs police said.
The robbers went into the shop just before 10 p.m. and both they and clerks in the store pulled guns, said Sgt. Chris Newton. Several shots were fired and both robbers were hit, she said.
According to police radio calls, one of the men was shot in the chest. No information on their conditions was available.
One of the wounded men was taken to Memorial Hospital Central and the other was taken to Penrose Hospital, Newton said.
The other businesses in the small shopping center were closed when the shooting occurred.

UPDATE (6:56 a.m.): Both injured men are expected to survive but are in serious or critical condition, according to police.

Mike Rosen on KOA was talking about this this morning. Said the clerk was licensed to open carry. Good for them to make sure they were following the law. [ROFL1]

Said it before, I'll say it again. I love a story with a happy ending.

Only specially trained people in Colorado can get a Non-Concealed Handgun Permit.

Would be less criminals if this happened more often.

About time... CINCWIFE & daughter-in-law/daughter both have been through armed robberies in "gun free" work places.

Would've been "fairy-tale" happy ending if both the criminal scum weren't living, but the threat was stopped. Sadly, they'll now have the ability to tie up the courts/spend our money for years. [Mad]

Too bad they are "expected to survive". Woulda cleansed the gene pool a little....
