Pro tip: Don't try to rob a gun store; the employees are usually armed. Thief tries to rob gun store with hammer with deadly result: cops
The Livermore Police Department said that before 2:30 p.m. Sunday, a man "wearing a mask, a hooded sweatshirt pulled over his head and gloves" who was "acting suspicious" entered East Bay Firearms.
The man, who has only been identified as a 28-year-old from Redwood, then attempted to rob the gun store owner by swiping a firearm while wielding a hammer, according to witness statements to police.
Livermore, California is about 35 miles northeast of San Jose, about 35 mile southeast of Oakland, and about 45 miles west of Modesto in the extreme easten part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
To no one's surprise, except briefly the guy who got shot, the gun store owner shot the would-be robber. He died at the scene.
"At this stage in the investigation, it appears that this was a case of self-defense," Livermore PD said in a press release.
This is Colion Noir's video Wow, Hammer Wielding Robber Gets Shot Trying To Rob A Gun Store. It did make me laugh, despite the subject matter.
