Loan store owner opens fire during robbery attempt

One man is dead and a woman is shot after an attempted robbery this afternoon at a Mesa payday loan store.

At noon, Mesa Police received a silent panic alarm from inside the store.

Before officers arrived at the store near Dobson and Baseline, they received another call about an armed robbery at the store.

Police say the store owner opened fire on two armed suspects, killing one and sending the other to the hospital.

Police believe it was a case of self-defense.
