An attempted convenience store robbery by a suspect wielding an assault-style rifle was foiled when the 80-year-old owner grabbed a gun and opened fire, authorities said
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department said deputies were called to the business on Sunday around 2:47 a.m. following a report of an attempted armed robbery.Surveillance video obtained by CNN shows a man entering the Norco Market & Liquor store and pointing a rifle at the owner behind the counter. The owner then reaches for a firearm and shoots the suspect.The sheriff's department said the owner fired a single round from a shotgun, which caused the suspect to flee.
Surveillance footage outside the store shows another armed man get out of a parked SUV and move toward the store just before the injured suspect runs back to the vehicle, apparently screaming"he shot my arm off."Authorities said one suspect was later found at a Southern California hospital suffering from an apparent shotgun wound.
