Caught on video: Norco store owner blasts armed robber with shotgun; 3 arrested
KTLA 5, Los Angeles ^ | 1 August 2022 | Marc Sternfield, Cindy Von Quednow

A would-be robber was critically injured after being shot by a store owner in Norco early Sunday in a dramatic incident that was captured on surveillance video.

An employee who reached out to KTLA said the video shows a man armed with an assault-style rifle walk into the Norco Market at 816 Sixth Street around 2:45 a.m., point the weapon at the owner, and order him to put his “hands in the air.”

Within just a few seconds, the owner steps behind a glass display and fires a shotgun at the suspect, who immediately runs out of the store screaming and shouting, “He shot my arm off!”

Officials later indicated that three men entered the store armed with long guns and wearing facial coverings and hoods.

A second camera in the parking lot shows the suspect jump into a dark-colored BMW SUV with at least three accomplices and then drive away.

Four suspects were later found at a hospital. One of the men “was suffering from a gunshot wound consistent with a shotgun blast,” according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The 23-year-old remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition and will be booked into jail after being released, officials said.

...

Three suspects were taken into custody in the hospital parking lot and were booked for robbery and conspiracy. They are being held on $500,000 bail.

The men were identified as Justin Johnson, 22, of, Inglewood, Jamar Williams, 27, of Los Angeles and Davon Broadus, 24, of Las Vegas.

“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,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

I'm more than surprised that California has a stand-your-ground law, or something like it.

I reckon you might know Code Toad?

I remember way back in the Rodney King years the Asians guarded their stores armed, no problemo, but figured that nowadays thieves and scum would gain all the protections, with the proprietors would be hung out to dry.

Should have shot him again for using the handicapped parking.

So who had the shotgun - the robber or the owner? (ps - I’ve seen the vid).

Morons that pass for writers and journalists are endemic.

It takes a lot of stupid balls to walk into anything at 2:30AM with robbery in mind.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Norco is in Riverside County and hopefully they have a decent DA.

“He shot my arm off” may become more popular than “You’ll Shoot your eye out”.

We really do get more of the mentally deranged, psychopathic killers here in Cali. If there's a really shockingly horrible crime, it very often happened here. We need all the personal protection we can get, and I pitty the fool who doesn't use it.

Good for Norco. Many years ago we had a horse ranch there. Glad to see that the people there still stand their ground.

If I recall correctly Norco is in Riverside county, so LA’s DA can just go f#ck himself!

I noticed that; if the black robber (I also noticed that) ever gets out of jail with both arms he will probably qualify for an HC placard.

Kind of poetic don’t ya think?

If you watch the whole video I think you see the clerk watching the CCTV behind the counter after the BLACK CRIMINAL (want to capitalize that for all the BLMers out there) runs out screaming like a little girl.

He probably watched them get out of the car with their guns and was ready when the dumbass entered the store.
