Robbers Take Pack of Beer, Shoot Clerk at Store
A Walnut convenience store clerk was shot Saturday during an early morning robbery in which the suspects took a 12-pack of beer, authorities said.
A single bullet struck Amarinder Singh, 21, of La Puente, in his right arm and then lodged in his rib cage, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Langgle said.
Singh was taken to Queen of the Valley Hospital in West Covina and released that morning, said Naginder Singh, the victim’s uncle.
Singh was wounded after a young man entered the Super C Market and took the beer without paying for it, Langgle said.
