Deputies learned that three men had entered the business, displayed firearms and demanded merchandise, Gurkovic said.<\/div>\n
A store owner pulled out a firearm and shot one round, causing the three men to take off running, according to Detective Javier Acosta. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.<\/div>\n
The investigation was ongoing and police were working on identifying the suspects.<\/div>\n
Rosalba Farias, owner of the store, said her husband retrieved a gun and fired one round, hitting the front door of the store. Two of the men had guns and the other was holding a piece of metal, she said.<\/div>\n
\u201cI was in the back counter helping a customer when I heard the noise and I just froze,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
