An armed security guard, hired by Apple to protect one of its San Diego stores, confronted and killed a smash and grab suspect in a gun battle early Monday.
One person is dead and two people have been taken into custody following the shooting at Otay Ranch Towne Center in the Eastlake section of Chula Vista according to police.
The Apple store manager was working inside when just before 7 a.m. the guard confronted two men and a woman. The suspects had smashed into the store's front doors, sending shattered glass out onto the sidewalk.
The guard told police a gun battle started when one suspect produced a handgun. More than a dozen yellow evidence markers were on the ground just outside the store's front door.

Thugs tried to get a piece of the apple
I wonder if the guard shot him with a iGun?
You don’t give the lowly flashlight much credit, do you? A flashlight could break the skin and cause a nasty infection. You never know.
Unhappy with the service costs on their MacBook Pro, no doubt.
The guy produced a handgun right there on the spot?
Well, he had one thing over Apple — THEY don’t produce ANYTHING in this country...
One dead, one shot in the butt - not too shabby.
Hopefully he had a quick trip on the information super highway...to hell.
Wow, they have an app for everything!
Why can guns be “hired” but the average citizen cannot defend themselves with one while walking the streets?
Lousy reception on his iPhone Titanium or whatever.
Otay.
Otay.
The iGun? No, I doubt it. Any guard worth his/her salt would have used the latest - the iShotgun (Fast forward, 4:40).
...just exposes the core problem.
“Why can guns be hired but the average citizen cannot defend themselves with one while walking the streets?”
Because a minimally trained minimum wage rent a cop considered more qualified than a physician or business owner?
my thoughts exactly.

In Texas, many of the mall rent-a-cops are off-duty police moonlighting in uniform. Supplemental income.
