Stockton, California

From March 7, 2005, News10.net, Stockton, California:
An attempted robbery left one man dead and perhaps another suspect wounded in south Stockton Monday morning.

According to police, the incident began when several individuals tried to rob a Beacon service station on Charter Way just before 6 a.m. There was an exchange of gunfire between a suspect and the station owner, and at least one of the would-be robbers was fatally wounded. A second trail of blood leading in another direction has investigators thinking another suspect was wounded.

A business partner of the station owner described what happened. "Four or five them, you know, he got suspicious, acting suspicious, going in the pockets," said Harpreet Randhawa. "They came inside and fired two shots and missed. He always keeps a loaded revolver on the counter there and he reached out and shot five shots. He emptied his gun on them and they all ran away."
