Store owner fires at thieves after pickup crashes through Lynnwood jewelry shop

At approximately 12:25 p.m. on Tuesday, a white Toyota Tacoma rammed the storefront of Medina Jewelers in Lynnwood, breaking windows and creating an entry for three masked individuals, one appearing to carry an axe. The jewelry store owner retrieved a gun and discharged it, prompting the suspects to retreat without taking any items.

The fleeing suspects used a black BMW SUV and a silver Toyota or Infiniti sedan, with the BMW colliding with a parked car during the escape.
