Video from inside the store showed the other angle. When the people inside saw the thieves, they ran behind the counter. Several came back out to the front, armed. That's when the owner fired one shot.

How long until the businessowner gets arrested and charged for illegal discharge of a firearm?

“Seconds later, though, the group scattered, got back into their cars, and they all drove off.”

It’s too bad that at least a couple of them remained behind - on the ground dead.

A couple of well-placed warning shots would go a long way towards ending this kind of behavior.

Not long. And it is illegal to fire a warning shot.

It was the Al-Amira Jewelry Store. The owner’s attorney is Mohammad Abuershaid. A customer’s name is Mohammed Kahn. A nearby business, Sahara Falafel, is owned by Mahmud Salem.

Nothing will happen to the unnamed owner.
