posted (April 16, 2012)
And just a block away from where that shooting happened - this morning just before 9:00 am, a Chinese grocer was shot in front of his store on Jane Usher Boulevard.

It was an armed robbery and the robbers pounced just as WUO ZHENG WU was about to enter his store. His wife had opened the grill door when two men came up to him.

The police press officer explained what happened next:..

Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"ZHENG WU returned home after shopping and as soon as his wife opened the burglar barred door, two men rode up on separate bicycles, one of them brandishing a firearm. He was shot in his right lower arm where he was robbed in excess of a thousand dollars."

"One of the computers that they use to sell boledo, their cell phones, and both men just got on separate bicycles and made good their escape. Luckily Wu wasn't seriously injured."

Wu's injuries were not considered serious and he was treated and released within two hours.
