(CBS)-(BEVERLY HILLS)-A Beverly Hills jewelry store owner fatally shot a
man who held a gun to his head during an apparent holdup attempt
Thursday, according to police reports.

A report of shots fired at Mirage Jewelers, 9469 Little Santa Monica
Blvd., came into police at 1:31 p.m., said Beverly Hills police Officer
Gary Henrichs.

An officer at the scene said the would-be robber put a gun to the
merchant’s head but that he was able to grab his own gun and shoot the
man several times in the upper body.

The suspect, reportedly dressed as a businessman, posed as a customer
before trying rob the shop, Sgt. John Edmundson said.
The suspect, whose name was unavailable, was declared dead at the scene.

The owner, whose name was not made available, was questioned but likely
will not be arrested in the fatal shooting, Edmundson said.
