Gun store robbery suspect in custody after shots fired outside Southfield store
Southfield Police responded to Action Impact Firearms after a man allegedly grabbed two guns off the counter and ran out the door. Investigators say the suspect then fired shots outside the store. The owner of Action Impact Firearms, William Kucyk, says an employee also fired shots in an attempt to stop the suspect. Police say no one was hit.
“We had an individual posing as a normal and regular customer, and during that sales process, snatched the guns and ran out the door,” Kucyk said. “You know, my employee didn’t just let this happen; they took steps to protect the public, and that was a choice that employee made, and we’ll just look at it, that’s all.”
The employee remains on the job and will not be making any public statements, Kucyk said…
