‘He shot my arm off!’
California robbery suspect found later at a hospital suffering from gunshot wound
Greg Norman | Fox News
An 80-year-old California liquor store owner was caught on video opening fire at a would-be robber with a shotgun, prompting the suspect to run out of his business screaming “he shot my arm off!”The self-defense act happened early Sunday at Norco Market & Liquor in Norco, just east of Los Angeles, after the store owner was confronted by a gunman wielding a rifle.
“In this case, a lawfully armed member of our community prevented a violent crime and ensured their own safety, while being confronted with multiple armed suspects,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said.

Tox and Gun Bunny will have to share credit for this one. Great minds and all that. The young gentleman’s arm was not, in fact, shot off.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. — Robert Heinlein

Poor darlin’, almost had an epiphany.
I’ve seen shotgun wounds with birdshot from that range. It isn’t pretty. Just a big wad of hamburger with the bone showing under it. Then individual pellet wounds farther away from center. Hell, even the shot cup got embedded in that guys arm.
I think this guy had a similar situation.
‘He shot my arm off!’
LMAO! Good start to the day!
“It’s just a flesh wound”. LOL
A few drops of Mercurochrome will fix that right up.
Ibuprofen, drink water, change your socks.
Walk it off.
You forgot the duct tape.
A little Gorilla Tape and all fixed.
Rub some dirt on it…nail it back on…you’ll be fine.
He can also use this to seal up his butt in case his cell mate is feeling romantic.
Yup, all three of them were apprehended at the hospital in Norco. The wounded one will be charged with attempted armed robbery, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon, so he is unlikely to make bail. He will need that product to protect his ass, as he will only have one good arm available for that task. The other two might make bail, since they didn’t threaten the clerk or enter the store.
They will have to drop the armed robbery charge, as he is no longer armed.
Aww, he still has an arm, just a mangled one. But we still don’t know what happened to his weapon of war. There is video that shows him getting in the getaway car with both arms while screaming,”he shoot off muh arm.”
Just can’t hep yersef, eh?
The perp is lucky the store owner was only armed with a shotgun. Had he been armed with a 9MM, he may well have blown the perp’s lungs right out of his body!
The horror!
Or worse yet, armed with one of those weapon of war AR-15’s, which fire a super high-powered military cartridges that can blow off a head, according to some ER doctor.
With the chainsaw bayonet and anti-tank 5.56mm NATO rounds designed to go through T-72s’ frontal armor during Cold War…
And don’t forget the thing on the back that goes up…the most deadly attachment any weapon of war has ever had.
He just shot to “disarm” him 🤪
ba dum cha
thanks, I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
Rim Shot
“lawfully armed”
Whole new meaning to the term now.
Once I had to pick up my one armed Uncle at the Airport because he had 2 suitcases.
Maybe you shouldn’t be a scumbag thief and your arm would still work.
Too old to fight, too tired to run. The old dude just shuffling along was once more of a badass than you’ll ever be, punk…and still is.
“…pretending to have a weapon.” I’ll be pretending that I care that you got your damn fool self DRT.
If you gotta tote a lung busting 9mm, it should be one that is based on the designs of HMS, JMB…HBHN.
The despotic domestic enemies of We, The People are gonna FAFO…soon.
No violence when I’m naked. A subtle flank attack, capture the breastworks, and some thrusts at the center.
This is the ONLY time I have seen a low quality hair bag try to rob a store with a high quality rifle.

If you take the last name Norman and Fox, you would end up with the name Norman Fox who is the lead singer of Norman Fox and the Rob Roys.
The elderly store shooter also suffered a mild heart attack shortly after this event. He will be fine and definitely healthier than ‘Lil din Do Nuffin.”. Oh and I loved how they had backed into the store and then had to stop to let Mikey the Mope get in the [stolen] SUV. Nice license plate shot from the store security camera. BTW, this story has some epic comments from all y’all. I concur–Vitamin M, Hydrate and change his socks.
Had to watch that video several times, just to enjoy it.
Poor baby-daddy jus’ tryin’ to feed his chil’, or addiction.
I’m surprised his ‘buddies’ didn’t leave his adz there.
Dallas isn’t the best place in Texas to be, but it is in Texas. Threaten someone, they’re liable to take you seriously – to the morgue.
Heinlein has a lot of good quotes. For a SciFi writer he was pretty grounded in reality.
AW1Ed must be feeling benevolent to KoB today with that FN.
Not especially.
*grin*
Been waiting for the Springfield Armory SA35 to show up in my Local All-Purpose Gun Shop and Assorted Sundries Store (one of their earlier adverts was “if we ain’t got it, you don’t need it”).
Spoke to a gun sales dude this week, he said the reason none of the SA35s are out & about is that they were recalled for a (minor?) manufacturing flaw.
Anybody heard anything about that?
Mega hype with few released to drive demand wild… there was a production glitch (sloppiness) on some early production guns. They should be out by now (unless Springfield can’t more than anti-gun Gen Z clods doin’ a crap job).
I own A springfield XD carry in .40 and an XDe carry in .9MM. I carry the XDe, but I used to carry The XD for awhile and changed over to the XDe which I prefer.. Bartender on a cruise ship I was on was from Croatia and he told me that he owns a couple of Springfields. We hit it off after that. All I drank was soda pop and Perrier.
So does the shopkeeper get to keep the AR that the one-armed man dropped? Only seems fair.
So, are you saying he disarmed the perp? 😉
