YORKVILLE — Sam Yafai said he was sitting near the front window of his grocery store, Sam’s Mini Mart, Sunday evening when he saw a car pull up slowly near his Whitesboro Street business.
As the next few minutes unfolded, the grocer would be attacked — and would fight back, police and Yafai said. “The man came in and I stood up to face him and he jumped over the counter and pushed me down,” Yafai recalled the day after the incident.
Yafai said he was kicked in the ribs and a demand for money was made. “He said, ‘I want all your money. Give me your money!’” said the native of Yemen. “I told him, ‘Take it! Take it! I’m just an old man, I don’t want any trouble.’”

GOLETA, California (AP) — A former postal worker who had been put on medical leave for psychological problems shot five people to death at a huge mail-processing center and then killed herself in what was believed to be the nation’s deadliest workplace shooting ever carried out by a woman.
The attack Monday night was also the biggest bloodbath at a U.S. postal installation since a massacre 20 years ago helped give rise to the term “going postal.”
Investigators would not discuss a motive for the attack.

EDGEWATER, Md. — Police are looking for a jogger who kicked a toy poodle so hard that it landed on the other side of the street, leaving it paralyzed.
The 9-year-old, 4.5-pound poodle named Jacquelyn was at a veterinary hospital in Annapolis Friday, paralyzed from neck down. It is unclear if the paralysis is from structural damage or traumatic shock.
Witnesses told Anne Arundel County police the jogger kicked the dog three times after it ran up to him barking and nipping at his heels just before 9 a.m.
A tearful Janice Tippett, the poodle’s owner, told The (Annapolis) Capital, “This guy is so bad. She did not deserve that. Neither me or her ever hurt anybody.”
