Gunmen Rob Customers Amid Kansas City Restaurant Ambush

A quick point of cowtown contention . . .

This report asserts a Brookside location of the robbery but the restaurant seems like more of an East side locale of a biz that hoped to capitalize on upscale patrons nearby. That's a minor quibble that only matters to longtime locals. In reality, the distinction betwixt East side Vs. Brookside is fading as crime rises throughout both neighborhoods.

Here's the crux of the story . . .

"The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department says that just before 11:05 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, emergency crews were called to Earl’s Premier Restaurant with reports of an armed robbery.

"Investigators revealed that two unknown men made their way into the business just before close and demanded money from the register. During the process, an employee was hit which resulted in injuries. They were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment."

"Law enforcement officials noted that the robbers continued to steal cash from diners still inside the restaurant as well."
