Boise store employee beat up during burglary, retaliates with gunfire, police say

Law enforcement arrested three suspects after a burglary turned violent Saturday night in Boise. Officers responded to reports of gunshots shortly after 9:30 p.m. at a business on the 6300 block of West Fairview Avenue in Boise, according to a Boise Police Department news release. Police said evidence indicated that an 18-year-old Boise woman entered the business and began to steal alcohol when an employee confronted her and told her to leave. 'She then approached the employee and punched him in the face,' police said. 'A physical altercation between the two occurred before two additional suspects…entered the store. They also began assaulting the employee, who was on the ground.' The two additional suspects were an 18-year-old Boise man and a juvenile. 'The employee was repeatedly punched, kicked, and stomped on as he remained on the ground, backed into a corner of the store,' police said. The employee then pulled out a gun and shot at the suspects, striking the man, according to the release. Police said the three suspects then escaped the scene in a vehicle. The employee received treatment at a local hospital for treatment of 'serious but non-life-threatening injuries,' police said. After locating the suspects' vehicle near the intersection of North Curtis Road and West Irving Street, law enforcement found the three suspects inside. They transported the man to a hospital for treatment of a single gunshot wound, according to the release. The three suspects were each booked in the Ada County Jail on a felony charge of aggravated assault. The woman also received a misdemeanor for commercial burglary.
