Wounded, he then made his getaway in a black Jaguar.

Gunfire was exchanged at Albert’s Jewelers in Thousand Oaks, CA when a man attempted to rob the store but was chased away after an employee shot him, KTLA reports. The article says the would-be thief also fired, but neither of the three employees inside were shot. In the video below, a witness who works in a neighboring hair salon says she saw the man run out of the store and then fall over – presumably because he was wounded – before he “hopped into a black Jag and took off.” Authorities are reviewing the surveillance video.

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.”
