A customer at Draque's Barber Shop in Kansas City was upset about his haircut so he allegedly returned to the shop and opened fire
Disgruntled barber customers might take revenge for a disappointing haircut by leaving a bad or tepid Yelp review. But it seems things got even more cutting at oneAccording to court documents, a barber even feared he was about to be executed in the ordeal until a timely gun malfunction gave a witness the opportunity to disarm the alleged gunman.
Witnesses said they heard Dickens arguing about a haircut he’d had the day before—for which he was not charged—and he’d returned on the day of the shooting to have it corrected. The person who did the original cut wasn’t there when Dickens showed up, so another barber told him to take a seat and wait, at which point Dickens allegedly flew into a rage.
Seeing the firefight break out, one witness inside the shop went to retrieve a gun from his car. The man then claims to have found Dickens around the corner, standing over the barber pointing a handgun at him. The witness says he tried to reason with Dickens to stop and, when Dickens’and caused its clip to fall out, the witness was able to tackle him and take the gun out of his hands. When cops arrived, they found the witness sitting on top of Dickens.
