Police say a security guard at a jewelry store in Fullerton, CA, shot at suspects who were attempting to rob the store.

The three suspects were wearing masks and are believed to have been armed, ABC7 reports. The incident happened Feb. 7 at Happy Jewelers.

No one was hit in the gunfire and no injuries were reported, according to the report.

The suspects fled, and the guard is working with police investigators, according to ABC7.

“I think that they paid their security guard to do what he did today and he thwarted three subjects from committing an armed robbery here at the jewelry store,” said Sgt. Ryan O’Neil of the Fullerton Police Department, according to KTLA-TV.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
