“One man was killed and two others were arrested early Monday after a shootout with a security guard at a Chula Vista Apple Store,” Debbi Baker reports for The San Diego Union Tribune.
“Police said the trio broke into the store at the Otay Ranch Town Center on Birch Road just before 7 a.m., said police Capt. Gary Ficacci,” Baker reports. “The security guard told officers he was in his vehicle outside the business when he saw two men and a woman smash the store’s front windows, Ficacci said.”
Baker reports, “The guard confronted them and at least one of the men took out a handgun and threatened him, and a gun battle ensued, Ficacci said. The trio then got into a small car and started to drive away but the male driver was mortally wounded and the car crashed into a light pole. The other man and the woman got out of the car and ran. They were found about 8 a.m. hiding on a patio in a residential neighborhood across the street, Ficacci said.”

He appears to have been killed by a bullet that went through the passenger window, Chula Vista Police said.”

East County Magazine reports, “Chula Police Chief David Bejarano has provided an interview with East County Magazine moments after returning from the scene of a fatal shooting at Otay Ranch Town Center shopping mall. He disclosed chilling details of a brazen robbery attempt that ended with one suspect dead following a hail of bullets and a massive response by law enforcement to seal off and search the neighborhood. ‘The suspects actually backed up their car right in front of the main entrance to the Apple Store on Main Street,’ he said, adding that there were two men in the front seat and a woman in the backseat. Around 6:45 a.m., the two men entered the Apple Store. ‘They started to grab iPads and computer equipment,’ he said.”
East County Magazine reports, “An armed guard hired by Apple was stationed outside and witnessed the robbery in progress as suspects were walking out the door. ‘The guard is a retired San Diego Sheriff’s deputy,’ said Bejarano, who added, ‘One suspect pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the guard. The guard pulled his weapon and fired at both suspects.’ The driver was shot in the side of his head. Bejarano believes its
likely the injury occurred once the suspects were in the vehicle. ‘He attempted to drive away, maybe 20-25 yards. The driver hit a light post and some planters, then came to a stop. He died pretty quickly and was found in the car expired.'”
