How about them apples!
Po-Po said that at 2:45 am on Sunday, four male suspects in a black BMW SUV attempted to rob Norco Market & Liquor in the greater L.A. area (Riverside County).
The owner noticed on surveillance cameras that an armed man was entering his store so he grabbed his shotgun and was waiting for the would-be robbers.
The owner opened fire on the suspect who quickly fled after being shot.
On their way back to the getaway car, the suspect is heard crying, "he shot my arm off."
Fox 11 in Los Angeles reports:
“The suspects were located at a Southern California hospital, one of whom was suffering from a gunshot wound consistent with a shotgun blast, authorities said. Three additional suspects were also located at the hospital in the suspect vehicle, which had been previously reported stolen. The BMW SUV was also found to contain numerous stolen firearms.
Justin Johnson, 22, of Inglewood, Jamar Williams, 27, of Los Angeles, and Davon Broadus, 24, of Las Vegas, were each taken into custody in the hospital parking lot and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center for robbery and conspiracy. They are being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
The primary suspect, a 23-year-old male, remains hospitalized in critical, but stable condition, and his identity has not been released at this time. He will be booked into a Riverside County jail upon his release from the hospital, authorities said.
"In this case, a lawfully armed member of our community prevented a violent crime and ensured their own safety, while being confronted with multiple armed suspects," deputies wrote in a press release.
The store owner suffered a heart attack shortly after the incident. He is in the hospital recovering after the health scare, FOX 11's Gina Silva reports.”
