The clerk’s assault was the fourth reported shooting in Hamilton in less than a week.
A woman reported being shot at in her car at the Splash and Dash car wash on Grand Boulevard while she tried to chase down an armed robber who took her purse. Earlier in the week a Fairfield man was shot and seriously injured while leaving a bar on Shuler Avenue and a Hamilton man was shot near his home on South Front Street.
Additional aggravated robberies were reported at Kenton’s 12th Street Market, Shadow Creek Drive, Belle Avenue and at the intersection of East and Maple avenues.
Scrimizzi said some or all of the street robberies may be related.
“For all I know they could all be related,” Scrimizzi said. “I do believe there are people in the community who know who is committing the street robberies.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Greg Baker at (513) 868-5811 ext.1223 or the detective section at (513) 868-5811 ext. 2002.
