CHICAGO (WLS) -- A thief shot out the door to escape from a jewelry store in the Uptown neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, Chicago police said.
The man walked into the Heng-Heng store in the 1000-block of West Argyle at about 2:35 p.m. pretending to be a customer, police said.

He tried to leave the store without paying for the jewelry he was handed and when the door wouldn't open, police said he took out a gun, shot the glass out and took off.
The door would not open because the customers need to be buzzed out.
