Wednesday a man walked in to his local video game store, EB Games, robbed the store an told the the clerk he was doing it to save his family. Umm. Yeah right. The video game store is store located in the 9000 block of St. Charles Rock Road. The St. John Police Department told KSDK, who reported this story, that  the incident took place on Wednesday around 6:35 p.m. Police said that the suspect went into the store, picked out a video game and approached the counter to check out. Then he pulled out a small handgun and told the store clerk that his family was being held hostage and that he needed a Playstation 3 in order to have them released.

After this happen the suspect told the clerk to call the police, right when he left the store. The Police arrived shortly after, but the suspect had fled the scene.

Well, if you ask me it sounds like some couldn’t pay the money to buy the PlayStation 3 because they are BIG Madden fans and they would to play it with the full nex-gen experience. But, this is not something to take likely because you never know what could happen.
