The 60-year-old guard was exiting the hospital carrying a messenger bag of currency when he was shot by a person who police said ran to a getaway car.
One robbery, in the parking lot of a 99 Ranch supermarket in Rowland Heights, was captured on video and shocked residents accustomed to shopping in relative safety.
The victim, a 40-year employee of GardaWorld, was in critical condition Wednesday evening, having suffered a gunshot wound to his back.“Based on what we know at this time, this was a brazen daytime shooting on the Kaiser Hospital campus,” said San Leandro police Lt. Matthew Barajas in a release. “We are grateful no one else was injured during the commission of this crime, but words cannot express how tragic this is.
