OAKLAND, Calif. – Two armed men intent on robbing a jewelry store in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood got more than they bargained for when a worker opened fire at them with his own weapon.
It happened at MSM Jewelry store near 41st Avenue and International Boulevard at about 10 a.m. Monday.
The worker, who didn’t want to be identified, says he saw a Toyota Camry pull up on the wrong side of the street right outside his shop.
“I saw two guys creeping up really quick so I was like, it’s a robbery,” he said.
The two men, both wearing masks, came inside with guns drawn.
The worker said he fired the first shot from his 9mm handgun.
“They told me don’t move, or we’ll shoot. So I started shooting at them because they had the guns pointed at me,” he said. “They were shooting back. It was going back and forth for like 20 seconds.”
