All the videos on the local news websites are trash. I bet fox has it, but I dont know what our local fox affiliate is.

It was a hostage situation, the only sniper invovled were the police ones. Fox was on it most of the day. I don't know if there's any footage, but they basically brought in a bulldozer, knocked a hole into the gas station's wall and a police sniper shot the guy in the shoulder. It was a 12 hour standoff and they cut his power pretty early, when they shot him he was in a cooler trying not to sweat to death. Cashier ran safely to police and hostage taker is in the hospital under fair condition. I'm glad the new office we're building puts me so much closer to that side of town. blah.

From the news article
It all started during a routine traffic stop because of an expired tag on Johnson's car.
