Wow!<\/p>\n

When commenter badger mentioned that the Columbia Mall<\/i> outparcel Bakers Sports Pub & Grill<\/i> appeared to be closed, I thought I might run over there after work to take a look. I certainly did not expect what I found.<\/p>\n

On the east side of the building, things looked almost normal, but I noticed as I walked over from my car to the front door that part of the entrance was boarded over. Then I just figured that this was not a business related closing, but that probably they had had a fire. Looking in through the door though, there were no burned sections, just a lot of devastation.<\/p>\n

Then I got off the porch and noticed the crime scene<\/i> tape around the front and west side of the building. Then, walking around (outside the tape boundry..) I saw this:<\/p>\n

Once home, a bit of googling established that it was exactly what it looked like -- someone had driven a pickup truck into the west side of the building. And furthermore, it was part of a police chase that saw the truck drive through *another<\/i>* building, run over one suspect and leave the other suspect (the driver) shot dead by police. It's a pretty incredible story, and in fact I had glanced through it last week without making the connection with Bakers<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The State<\/a> has a dramatic picture of the pickup truck after it hit the wall.<\/p>\n
