Armed clerk foils would-be robber in Fullerton
Liquor store worker fires into ceiling, scaring off armed man, police say.
A liquor store clerk armed with a gun scared off a would-be robber with a warning shot into the ceiling Tuesday night, authorities said.
A man walked in to Crown Empire Liquor at 2631 W. Orangethorpe Ave. about 9:30 p.m., pulled out a gun, and tried to hold up the clerk, said Fullerton police Lt. Doug Cave. But the clerk pulled out his gun and fired a single shot into the store's ceiling, Cave said.
"That caused him to rethink what he was doing, and he left," Cave said.
No one was injured during the robbery.
Police are looking for the would-be robber, who is described as in his 20s with a shaved head.
