Drive-In Owner Saddened By Deadly Shooting
KENOSHA - Like a lot of kids his age 18-year-old Rob Wilde was working at Shirl's Drive-In to make a little money to go to college in the fall. The owner says he feels like he’s lost one of his own.
"Great guy. Nice kid! It shouldn’t have happened," said owner Rudy Wieztort.
He doesn’t know what happened Sunday night inside the drive-in restaurant he has owned since 1990.
Monday afternoon was the first time he was allowed to go behind the crime scene tape. He barely got chance to talk with the employees who were not shot during the robbery.
"They’re all upset," said Wieztort, "I don’t know I don’t have the details."
Six people were working when the store was robbed including his longtime store manager James Hagelund who was also injured in the shooting.
Rob Wilde had just started working for him six months ago.
"It’s such a small place; it’s like a small family you look at them as your kids. Yeah it hurts," Wieztort said.
The owner doesn’t know when he will be back in business but he does plan to reopen.
