Chicago - A man robbing a dry cleaning store blew off part of one finger with a shotgun, police said. "This is no toy; the gun is loaded," the robber said to his victims Monday in the Pekin Cleaners on Chicago's south side. Police said the robber, wearing women's underpants over his face and pink panties on the outside of his pants, and carrying a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun, then opened the gun to show it was loaded. When he closed it, the weapon fired, taking off two-thirds of the little finger of his left hand. After the gun fired, he took $10 from the cash register and a portable television set from the counter and fled. Police said they recovered the tip of the finger and were able to get a fingerprint. Police records then showed that the perpetrator, gamblingislife, had a record of petty theft, 5 counts of cruelty to animals, impersonating a women and soliciting sex, and loitering at a children's playground. They followed the trail of blood to a local farm where gamblingislife was found passed out next to a sheep with a crack pipe in his mouth. The sheep tested positive for human semen. A store employee, Hattie Butler, said she did not realize the robber had injured himself because he did not show any signs of pain.
