Store Owner Talks About Shoot Out
Police say pair of masked robbery suspects walked into this market and pulled guns on the man behind the counter. That clerk was also owner, Uriel Barjas. He says they got away with some money but not before he fired three rounds.
"I acted like I was going to lay on the ground, but instead grabbed my gun," says Barjas. "I straightened up and fired."
Police don't know if the suspects were injured.
It's not the first time Barjas has come face to face with criminals, either. There's been a string of robberies in the area. Store owners are getting together to talk about how to arm themselves.
