Gun Shop Worker Kills 1 Robber; 2 Others Held

One of four robbers trying to hold up a gun shop was killed by an
employee with a semiautomatic rifle, authorities said.

The attempted holdup and shooting at Euro Arms Gun Store on South
Garfield Avenue occurred about 11:15 a.m. Friday. An employee in an
office inside the store heard a commotion when the gunmen burst in,
Sheriff’s Deputy Roberta Granek said. When the worker emerged, one of
the robbers confronted him and the employee fired three times, Granek
said.

The other three suspects fled. One got away, but deputies arrested David
Pruitt, 21, and Melvin Jones, 20, shortly after the shooting, Granek
said. They were booked on suspicion of attempted robbery and murder and
denied bail, she said.
