Store Owner's Son Protects Mom, Kills Would-Be Robber
Police say a potential holdup at a Colton convenience store Monday ended with one of the would-be robbers dead and two others wounded after the owner's son pulled out a handgun and began firing.
Lt. Robert Miller says Colton police received the call of a robbery at the store at 10:15 a.m.
Three men entered the store and one of them pointed a handgun at the store's owner and demanded she empty the cash register, said Miller.
Miller said the owner's son took quick action, pulled out a handgun from underneath the register and opened fire.
One suspect died at the scene. The second was found in the parking lot and taken to a hospital.
Miller says a third suspect also was shot. Police arrested him at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
