The cops are being uncooperative with information at this point, but it appears that the owner, a guy named Dave, was the victim.
Dave runs a nice store with a very good selection.

That's terrible. One of my worst fears working retail where anyone can come in the door.

That totally sucks. Here's hoping it wasn't a dispute over some bullshit comic related thing. The only thing worse than being shot would be being shot for not buying a box full of some dudes old Youngblood comics.

wow do any of our Bendis boarders shop there?

[MAK15]

that sucks!
hope the guy pulls through

I have good friends in and around Grand Rapids. This kinda sucks.

Any way you can keep an eye on this and see how this guy is doing?

He's one of our own. Right? So, maybe there should be a fund-raiser. Most comic shops don't offer medical insurance to their employees, after all.

I will. I know he's not married and I think he has limited family ties. I work right done the street from the hospital he is at, I'll stop in and let him know people are thinking about him.
The owner is in critical condition at this time.
I'll provide updates as they become available.

Holy shit.
