CBC
Employees at a London, Ont., jewelry store who witnessed their boss being shot during a robbery are trying to pick up the pieces after the brazen daytime attack.
On Thursday morning, four men held up London Gold Buyer on Highbury Avenue, prompting a swift police response, arrests and multiple charges against the suspects.
The owner of the family-run business was shot and is currently in an induced coma in hospital, employee Chris Stevens said Friday. Another employee was injured but is now recovering at home.
"These are people that we've worked with and known for a long time. So yes, it's difficult," Stevens said. He was also in the store when the robbery took place but declined to give details about what happened.
The four suspects who were identified Friday by the London Police Service did manage to flee the store in a vehicle. The Ontario Provincial Police arrested the men outside of Woodstock a short time later.
All of the suspects are from Toronto, between the ages of 19 and 21, and are facing multiple charges. The 19-year-old suspect is charged with firing a gun with the intention to endanger life.
Stevens said there were no customers in the store at the time of the attack.
