“Brandon, Man., police say a man entered a downtown business and blew a hole in the wall with a shotgun Friday night, then left without stealing anything.”

Not much said in the article. Which business? Was the shooter known to the employee or business? Was there security cameras?

That is insane! Glad no one got hurt. Anyone know which downtown store this was at? I can't think of any that are open that late.

What's going on with our city? We have a definite increase in crime, people being dumb enough to drink and drive, increase assaults, increase hit and run accidents and traffic accidents in general? I can't surely the blame on that our city has grown in the past fews.

if that's all the guy did was shoot a hole in the wall, what was that? A warning message? Strange.

No apparent demand for cash...

The lowlife didn't steal anything. Just shoots the place up and runs! Hope this wasn't a process for "gang initiation"...

and from the victim's own mouth.... The man with the gun told the clerk not to move or he would shoot him... the clerk ran, the 'man' shot....

Unfortunately working in a convenience store can be risky.

Very nice people and a good little store but seems to be a place people think they can rob as they were robbed at knife point a few weeks prior to the shooting
