Just a heads-up. This is in Cambridge, but it's closer to Davis Square than Ball, Teele, or Powderhouse squares are:

Store owner shot, wounded in North Cambridge robbery

A North Cambridge convenience store owner was shot during a violent robbery Wednesday night, police said.

The suspect, a black man of possible Haitian descent, approximately five-foot-seven, wearing blue jeans, walked into Parnel's Convenient Store at 75 Dudley St., pointed a gun at the 60-year-old owner and demanded cash.

The owner, a male whose identity was not released, was shot in the side by the robber at some point after the suspect asked for money from the register.

Yipes! I'm in that neighborhood all the time; it's a convenient place to pick up snacks on my way over to visit friends in the area. Poor guy. :(
