NC:  Store owner kills robbery suspects:  "Two suspects have been shot and killed after an attempted robbery at a store in Gates County, according to officials. Webb said two men wearing bandanas on their faces and armed with guns tried to rob the store’s owner, who is in his 60s. The suspects reportedly kicked, punched and beat the owner.  When the owner fell to the ground, he was able to grab a gun and shot blindly over his shoulder, hitting one suspect, Webb said. When the owner got up, he shot the second suspect.  Webb told WAVY.com the suspects shot back at the owner, but he was not struck.  The suspects fled out of the store. One collapsed just outside the door while the other fled into a wooded area, where he also collapsed.  Both died at the scene.  According to Webb, the store’s owner was taken to Albemarle Hospital where he was treated and released."
