Armed Citizen of the Week
A man suspected of robbing a liquor store in Hugo, Oklahoma was shot twice by the clerk of that store on Thursday night. The masked man held up West Main Liquor, but didn't expect the clerk to fight back.
The following is a news release of the event from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation:
At approximately 6:30 Thursday evening, a man wearing a ski mask and brandishing what appeared to be a .45 semi-automatic handgun attempted to rob the West Main Liquor store in Hugo. The clerk opened the register and the suspect began grabbing cash from the drawer.
The clerk pulled out a .38 revolver and shot the suspect one time in the upper torso. When that did not encourage the suspect to put down his gun, the clerk grabbed a shotgun and shot the suspect one time. The man, identified as 50-year-old Guy Wade Buck, walked outside the store where two Hugo police officers were standing.
Another person inside the store called 9-1-1 during the robbery and alerted police. The officers had just arrived when they hear the shotgun blast. The officers quickly apprehended the suspect who was flown to Wadley Hospital in Texarkana where he remains in critical condition. The gun was discovered to be a plastic air gun.
Buck is from the rural Choctaw County area.
Hugo Police called in OSBI to assist in the investigation.

Jersey City police recruit selling drugs
A Jersey City police cadet was booked on multiple drug charges after cops arrested her and her husband on drug charges, police said.
Shevon Sewell, 27, of Neptune Avenue in Jersey City, had been in enrolled in the academy since June 23 and was set to graduate Dec. 18, cops said. She is suspended without pay from the academy pending further investigation, police said yesterday.
Acting on a tip about drug activity at the Sewell home, cops conducted a surveillance operation Thursday and observed Sewell's husband, Jabar Sewell, 33, sell drugs to a pair of Jersey City men later identified as Terrence Smith, 21, and Alan Hines, 24, police said.
The officers flagged the pair down and found nine small bags of marijuana in their possession. Each was then arrested on drug charges, police said.
Cops then obtained a search warrant for the Sewells' house, and returned to find 14 small bags of marijuana as well as $234 in cash, believed to be proceeds from drug sales, police said.
Shevon Sewell was in the house at the time of the search and was arrested immediately, while her husband was picked up in a nearby park, police said.
"We thank the community for notifying us of this egregious behavior," Jersey City Police Chief Tom Comey said.
Sewell was suspended without pay from the Police Academy "and will undergo a departmental hearing in the future that will determine her status within the department," according to police spokesman Stan Eason.
Eason said that Sewell recently passed a random drug test that all Jersey City police officers and recruits are given.
Both Shevon and Jabar Sewell posted bail and were released from custody.

Armed Citizen of the Week
Police said a 14-year-old boy was defending himself and his mother when he shot and killed an intruder Monday afternoon at their home in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Capt. John Houston said the 14-year-old boy, whose name was not released, was home from school after becoming ill, and his 46-year-old mother, Rose Ann Kozlowski, had just returned from the grocery store when she was confronted by a man with a knife.
Cmdr. Jesse Garcia confirmed during a news conference that police received a call from one of the residents of 4221 Ocean Drive at 12:55 p.m. and responded to a report of a man tying them up and holding them at knifepoint.
The man, only identified as a black man in his 30s or 40s, led the mother and son to the upstairs master bedroom, where he bound their hands with men's ties and ransacked the house for valuables.
"He packed up her SUV in the garage with those items. He threatened to kill them repeatedly," Houston said.
After the robber caught the woman trying to untie herself once, she was able to free herself and her son and find her husband's pistol in a security box under the bed. She tried to shut double doors to the bedroom as the man tried to push them open and her son held the gun.
"She was using all her strength to push them," Houston said, adding that the boy aimed at the man through a space in the door and fired one shot.
"He shot once and hit him in the head, killing him instantly," Houston said. "He took a life-saving measure to save his mother and himself."
Soon after the incident, police cars lined Ocean Drive near the house, which is between Ocean View Place and Aberdeen Avenue, and neighbors stood nearby watching officers investigate.
Houston said police also are investigating the possibility the man had an accomplice because neighbors reported seeing two black men in a green 1970s four-door sedan, possibly a Lincoln Continental, driving slowly around the neighborhood a couple hours before the incident.
