One’s in the hospital in ICU, the others all caught. I think it was just a crime of opportunity, with the store being open at 2:45 AM.

While offering congrats to the store owner, it would seem prudent to create a strategically located bullet resistant barrier from behind which “boarder repellant” may be properly administered. And, since the miscreant in this case had what appears to be a centerfire rifle, that barrier needs to be adequate for all intended uses.
The tipoff may have been a vehicle backing into a space adjacent to the door at 0245, assuming the store owner was monitoring the video feed.

Nevermind my comment above. I had the sound way down when I watched it. I listened more closely, and he was shouting, “He shot my arm off!”

A BMW SUV with no plates. Gee, I wonder if they had just stolen it from a dealer’s lot.
That crew of losers was busy that night.
I admire the old guy shooting, moving and continuing to monitor the monitor. That man’s not just another pretty face. Well done, Sir!
A possibly overlooked detail of this story was that when they caught up to the dipwad perps at the hospital their vehicle contained ‘several’ stolen guns. They weren’t using their own lawfully purchased firearms in the commission of this crime. Imagine that.
I’m sure George Gascón will be prosecuting these criminals to the full extent of the law.

Interesting comment by the would-be robber as he got into the car. Sounded like, “He’s still armed!”
That implies there is more to this story than we are seeing in this short clip – like a history of trouble between the store owner and those thugs?
