Columbia Police Investigating Shooting At Convenience Store

COLUMBIA, MO (April 5, 2014) -                     Columbia Police Investigating Armed Robbery


On 04-05-14, at 4:03 A.M., Columbia Police officers were dispatched to 
2500 South Old Highway 63, apartment 1123, in reference to an armed 
robbery. The 20 year old female victim reported she was in her room with 
a male friend when another male entered her room armed with a handgun 
at around 3:30 A.M. The armed suspect demanded property from the 
victim but only got her cell phone. The suspect then left with her cell 
phone. The male friend then left stating he was going after the suspect and 
did not return.
