CROOKS & GUN CRIME CONTINUE TO TARGET KANSAS CITY'S COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA!!!

Last week there was an unconfirmed story about gunpoint robbery at one of the sport shops. 

And . . . As we've long mentioned . . . The iconic entertainment district since the Mayor sided with "mostly peaceful" protesters who rioted and nearly burned the place down along with a police car & a TV news van. 

This time around . . . A very brave lady stood up to cooks amid a robbery in progress.

Here are some of the deets . .  .

Rachelle Adams said she had no plans of trying to detain the suspects fleeing from Moosejaw on the Plaza Thursday with an estimated $2,000 worth of merchandise. But when one female suspect pointed a gun at her, her prior military training may have taken over . . .

Army Veteran Rachelle Adams saw two women running to a car loaded down with clothes on hangers followed by a store employee as she sat at a stoplight.

"I lifted my phone up to take a picture of the driver and at that moment she lifted the gun and pointed it at me. Then I decided I wasn't going to move and chaos ensued," she said.
