A dispute over a declined credit card at a Millcreek convenience store almost turned deadly but the man who reportedly fired six shots at the shop clerk missed.
According to police, two men tried to buy several items at the 7-Eleven at 4051 S. State St. shortly before 6:30 a.m. on Friday. The credit card was declined all three times the clerk ran it.
One of the men “began showing the cashier his middle finger,” the Unified Police Department wrote in a probable cause statement, and the other man “produced a handgun and fired six rounds at the cashier,” narrowly missing him.
