Switchblades<\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati gas station clerk shoots, kills alleged would-be robber<\/strong><\/p>\n by David Winter The incident happened just before 3 a.m. at the BP station on the corner of Reading Road and Tennessee Avenue. Police are saying very little other than a man was shot there at about 2:50 a.m. Paramedics arrived and tried to save him, but were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n The details that Local 12 dug up came from the people who work at the store, radio traffic, and court documents. The first call came in at 2:49 a.m.<\/p>\n \u201cAttention all cars. Report of a possible shooting at BP at 4545 Reading,” said dispatch.<\/p>\n Surveillance video from the Gold Star across the street showed police arriving within two minutes. Inside the BP, 57-year-old Dana Bruenton lay on the floor, dying from a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n \u201cChannels, clerk saying he just shot someone,\u201d said one policeman.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now, it\u2019s extremely life-threatening,\u201d said the policeman. \u201cSounds like they\u2019re going to transport possibly.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruenton would be taken to UC Medical Center, but was pronounced dead shortly after.<\/p>\n Clerks at the BP station said that Bruenton came in demanding money. They said that their co-worker opened the register, but when Bruenton demanded the clerk get on the ground, he refused, and a struggle ensued. They said that the owner keeps a gun behind the counter. The clerk then grabbed it and shot Bruenton.<\/p>\n JJ Wilbon is a BP patron who said she normally hangs out with friends into the early morning hours in the parking lot there.<\/p>\n \u201cNormally, I’m here, but I wasn’t here [this time],” said Wilbon.<\/p>\n She said that the clerk involved in the shooting is a good-natured guy.<\/p>\n \u201c[A] sense of humor. Pretty much minds his business,\u201d said Wilbon.<\/p>\n Local 12 asked her if the clerk was someone she would think would be involved in something like this.<\/p>\n \u201cNot at all,\u201d said Wilbon. \u201cNot at all.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruenton, on the other hand, has a rap sheet dating back to the 1980s, including at least two crimes that sent him to prison: an aggravated robbery in 1992 and an assault in 2007. Then, a month ago, police arrested Bruenton for allegedly attacking someone with a wrench. Three weeks ago, officers arrested him for allegedly attempting to steal groceries from a Kroger.<\/p>\n Wilbon said that she thinks the clerk was justified in shooting Bruenton.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes you gotta pick and choose your battles,\u201d said Wilbon.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd this time he chose to battle,\u201d Local 12 said.<\/p>\n “He chose to battle,” said Wilbon.<\/p>\n Local 12 then asked her if she thought that it was the right decision.<\/p>\n \u201cI do. I do,\u201d said Wilbon. \u201cI hate for someone to lose their life like that, but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n Police aren’t confirming the clerk’s rendition of what happened. The owner of the store told us that his employee was questioned by police after the incident and then released.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 1 \/ 0 \/ 0 Quoting a patron who wasn’t there on the alleged robber who was apparently shot by the unnamed clerk. That’s some mighty fine reportin’ right there. Thanks, Gun Bunny.<\/p>\n A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.
