Security guard at St. Petersburg gem show fatally shoots man



A security guard fatally shot an armed man who broke into a jewelry show, and a second masked suspect fled the scene, police said.



The security guard was inside the Coliseum in St. Petersburg at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday when two men pried open the back door, setting off the alarm, police spokesman Bill Doniel said.



The guard confronted the two men, who pointed their handguns at him, Doniel said.



The guard fired several shots at the men, who were wearing ski masks, Doniel said. One man was injured, while the other fled.
