Man Shot To Death In Failed San Diego Apple Store Robbery

Earlier today, two men and a woman tried to rob the Apple Store in Otay Ranch Town Center, Chula Vista, San Diego. They failed, and after a shootout with a security guard on duty, one of the men is dead.

According to reports, the Apple Store had not yet opened when the three would-be criminals smashed through the front door and tried to rob the place. Unbeknownst to the thieves, though, an armed security guard was on duty, who shot one robber after a gun was drawn on him.

The three robbers fled the scene in an Acura, but hit two posts in their departure, at which point two of the three robbers fled on foot. They left behind the third robber, who was dead of a gunshot wound. The remaining suspects were quickly taken into custody by the police.

What a tragic story. I think we can all agree, an iPad 2 is a hell of a thing to die over.
