LARGO, Md. -- The owner of a Largo liquor store shot and killed a man in an attempted robbery Friday morning, police said.

A man entered Kettering Liquors in the 10600 block of Campus Way South about 7:30 a.m., announced a robbery and pulled out a gun, police said. One of the owners pulled out a shotgun and shot and killed the robber, police said.

“It’s tragic. Somebody died today,” said Bill Miles, of Kettering Liquors. “The good news is it wasn’t one of us. It was the bad guy.”

Three owners and a deliveryman were in the store at the time. None of them was injured.

Police are investigating.

Another robber shot dead at a liquor store holdup. The store owner used good judgement in choosing a shotgun to defend himself with.

I got a little insider info on this incident. Apparently the liquor store owner was back in the beer cooler when said-perp came into the place, and took two employees at gunpoint into a back room, not knowing the owner was also there.

The owner watched what was going on and the perp was about to shoot the employees in the back room when the owner took action.
