Gillian, Jesse, other Stranger editors, if you're reading this, please make a style guide for the interns to follow, and make an entry in which 'allusion' is differentiated from 'elusion', 'elision', 'illusion,' and 'evasion.'

This particular store is only about 1/4 the size of a typical grocery, so the fact that this scene went down anywhere inside the building when customers were present is pretty alarming.
I'd be curious to know why the police thought is was necessary to go after this guy inside a public business during regular operating hours. It must have occurred to someone that a dude who just choked his own mother might not be willing to go quietly. And there's no way he habitually carried a gun without someone knowing about it. I can only guess that the police were worried he might go on a rampage if they didn't apprehend him immediately.
