"Troopers say Lents exchanged gunfire with the suspect and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. State police tell 14 News the suspect was killed...Our reporter on the scene said that the injured trooper raised his arm to wave at officers who showed up to wait for his arrival."

Very glad to hear he will be OK. Sounds like a tough son of a gun.

Glad the trooper will be ok. Was the store open at the time of the robbery?

From the story linked above, yes, it was open.. The robbery suspect first got in a gunfight with the store owner then with the police when they arrived.

I'll never understand the criminal who chooses to try and rob a building filled with guns and gun toting people during the middle of the day.

Admittance to the Gene Pool doesn't require any intelligence whatsoever.
Fortunately the pool has been cleansed a little by his incident.

In other words there was a little chlorine at the gun shop

Darwinism at its finest. Hope the trooper recovers quickly.

Yup.....
That ISP chlorine works as well as any.
I'm wondering how intense the gun fight between the idiot and the store person was before the Trooper arrived.

My god people are stupid. But, maybe it was a suicide attempt... luckily successful.

Hope the trooper recovers quick with no ill effects

Job well done. Must have had good training or worked on it himself. That's an insane situation that i hope to never face.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Anyone know if the folks in the gun shop are OK?

 

[Trigger Time]

Glad with the outcome as long as the trooper recovers fully. Sounds like his judgement call to engage the suspect probably saved at least one persons life. Job well done trooper!

 

[HandK]

Prayers sent for the trooper! And his family & Co workers!

Here's an update. The officer has already been released "to the care of his family." It doesn't get any better than that!
UPDATE: State trooper wounded in shoot-out during gun store robbery is out of hospital » Evansville Courier & Press

Someone made a point above about it being stupid to hit a gun shop. Not always. There are a lot of small shops around and even one that I frequent that has just the owner. So not all of them have 3-5 gun-toting sales people working.

Anyway, I wish there was a way to express thanks and congratulations to the officer.
