'He shot my arm off!' 80-year-old store owner shoots would-be robber
An 80-year-old convenience store owner fired his shotgun on an armed man who was trying to rob his Norco store over the weekend, officials said.
Surveillance video shows several people arriving in a black SUV at the Norco Market & Liquor in the 800 block of Sixth Street around 2:45 a.m. Sunday.
One of the would-be robbers enters the store with a rifle drawn, but seconds later, the store owner, James Craig Cope, steps behind a glass display case and fires a single shot. The suspect immediately retreats to a waiting vehicle, repeatedly shouting: “He shot my arm off!”
