North Hollywood, Calif., liquor store owner Brooks Burton faced the same gunman who had robbed him three times previously. The bandit ordered Burton to the rear of his shop where he took money from the safe and Burton's wallet. As the bandit turned to leave, Burton moved to the cash register and got his own gun. The armed thug fired one shot at the storekeeper who followed him out, shooting at the robber. The bandit returned the fire and then suddenly cried, "I'm hit!" He threw his gun in front of him and collapsed in the street. He was dead on arrival at the hospital.
