Sunday morning feel good story

Chief Tango sends us our feel good story this morning, this time it’s from Antioch, California where a dramatic shoot out didn’t work out so well from a couple of thieves;

An Antioch jewelry store owner shot and killed an armed robber Friday afternoon and police said a customer was also shot during the heist, police said.

The robbery at the Hardy Nix Jewelry store at 3600 Delta Fair Boulevard shut down a major street as authorities swarmed the surrounding area looking for a second suspect who escaped the store after the 4:27 p.m. robbery.

The female customer who was shot was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening wound, according to Antioch police Lt. Robin Kelley. The woman “just happened to be in the way” as the robber traded fire with the store owner, according to Antioch police Lt. Don LaDue.

Responding officers found the armed robber who was shot by the store’s owner on the ground outside the store’s entrance. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The other fellow is probably still running all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
