BREAKING NEWS: Robber holds up gun store and gets up to 15 handguns
A robber just fired a shot into the ceiling at a Redondo Beach gun store and escaped with 10 to 15 handguns.
The robbery occurred about 10:45 a.m. at Turner's Outdoorsman at Hawthorne and Redondo Beach boulevards, police Sgt. Phil Keenan said.
The gunman walked away west and out of sight.
"It's very concerning when a confirmed bad guy has 10 to 15 more handguns," Keenan said. "He is not going to use them. He is probably going to sell them."
The robber was described as Asian, 20 to 25 years old, wearing a black baseball cap, a Pendleton sweater, and possibly tan pants.

Thats what the whole city is coming to.Crime has risen in recent weeks thats a certainty. I'm sure we've all seen it in one way or another in our neightborhoods. It is appalling that its now happening in broad dailight, and innocent people will be victims if it doesn't cease. This from a part of the city where crime is in abundance.I want to know, where Chief Bratton and Mayor Villaraigosa stand on this and how are they going to help ease the suffrage in the city?
