This is the incredible moment a robber armed with an AR-15 fled screaming from a California liquor store after the 80-year-old owner blasted him with his shotgun.
Craig Cope opened fire after the 23-year-old armed intruder entered his shop in Norco in the early hours of Sunday.
Four suspects armed with guns were waiting outside, planning to rob the store while wearing facial coverings, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
But security camera footage shows cope reaching for his shotgun and firing straight into the approaching robber.
The man screamed out after being hit in the shoulder and ran from the store.
‘He shot my arm off! He shot my arm off!’ the man can be heard shouting as he runs back to a black BMW SUV.
