Cannabis Dispensary Robbery: Employee Shoots and Wounds Two in Spanaway, Washington

It’s been a week since a cannabis dispensary employee shot two of five suspects during an armed robbery in Spanaway, Washington.

Deputies of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department received a call at roughly 9:30PM on November 18th to the 17000 block of Pacific Avenue where the cannabis shop is located. According to the shop employees, four to five men were involved in the stickup.

While the employees were held at gunpoint, the robbers stole not only cash but stole cannabis products as well. Though, the information isn’t quite clear on how an employee was able to “…retrieve a gun and [shoot] at the suspects,” according to a news release by the Sheriff’s Department. The suspects then fled the scene in a vehicle.
