“There was a chase on the highway, which resulted in the suspects crashing out on the bridge,” she said. “The suspects got out of their vehicle and started firing at the business owner. And basically, between the suspects and the owner of the business, there was a shootout.” She declined to speculate on how many shots were fired.

The business owner was not injured, she said, and was questioned and released by police

Now, Don't get me wrong. I'm glad the Banditos got what they deserved.
BUT - what is wrong with the above scenario?

Whats wrong? You mean besides the poor writing?

The business owner chased the thieves and appears to have done so in a reckless manner. The owner pursued thieves off their property which is normally a very poor decision. At least the owner didn’t start the shooting which may be their saving grace.

The owner is lucky nobody else was hurt. I am glad the thieves didn’t make out so well.

The store owner did the right thing, trying to keep the perps in sight. He was probably on the phone with police at the time, telling them where the criminals were.

Otherwise, the police would have shown up at the store and told the clerk that they got away.

I see nothing wrong with the scenario, except the owner needs more range time.
