PA: Robber picks wrong store: "It appears an armed robber picked the wrong store to hold up. "He said to me, 'Give me all your money. Give me all your money,'" robbery witness Angel Dia said. But Dia said the armed robber who stormed Antonia's Grocery Sunday night got one heck of a surprise. "The other guy, the owner, he got a gun, too," Dia said. Dia said he was standing in the front of the store and the store's owner was behind the bulletproof glass when police allege that 19-year-old Donte Turner [above] pointed a gun at Dia. "My friend, he says, 'Back, all the way back,' and then the guy shot him," Dia said, pointing to his shoulder. "Then, the guy -- the gun, it fell down. He left it there and he went running." If the story ended there, Turner might still be on the run, according to police. But they said they got to Turner before they knew about the robbery. "A 19-year-old by the name of Donte Turner showed up at Episcopal Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. He gave responding officers that were called by hospital officials the story that he was robbed by a male on the highway and it was a dispute over money," said Philadelphia police Lt. Frank Vanore. Police said they received a second call, this one from Antonia's Grocery, saying two robbers had targeted the store and owner Juan Rosario thought he'd shot one of them. "There was a trail of blood and a hat found on the highway, and also a semiautomatic handgun. And the blood led down the street onto North 3rd Street," Vanore said. Police said the blood trail lead them from the store to the doorstep of Turner's house."



NV: Victims fight back: "One robbery suspect is on the loose and another is in the hospital after four victims fought back. Police say the four victims were barbecuing when two men with guns entered the home. One of the victims said he made a near-fatal mistake by leaving the garage door partially open. .. The men were pinned to the floor with shotguns. "It got ugly when they went back downstairs and decided to tell the women to undress their clothes," the victim added, "The girls were really crying and you could just tell that they were incredibly upset. The victim told Eyewitness News that one of the suspects who was preparing to sexually assault the women turned his attention away from the guns and let down his guard. The two male victims saw their opportunity. "I grabbed him, threw him down on the ground, grabbed a weight from the weight set and smashed him in the head." The women also joined in the fight, hitting the suspects with a frying pan. "One of the girls completely nude managed to grab a gun and shoot the guy in the chest area and in the leg."
