A liquor store employee in Concord fatally shoots an armed robbery suspect on Friday night as the suspect attempted to force the employee to open the store’s safe. The incident occurred just before 11:30 p.m. when the suspect, armed with a shotgun, entered the store on Willow Pass Road and threatened the staff.
In a dramatic turn, another employee intervened by firing their own weapon, striking the assailant, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The Concord Police Department is currently reviewing evidence and conducting an ongoing investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward. As authorities withhold the suspect’s name pending family notification, the community is left to grapple with the implications of this armed encounter.
