A 72-year-old Harlem business owner turned Bernie Goetz on four would-be robbers this afternoon, pulling a pump-action shot gun from beneath his desk and opening fire, killing two and wounding the others, cops said.
The four men barged into Kaplan Bros. Blue Flame Corp. -- a restaurant supply company at 523 W. 125th St. -- around 3 p.m. and one of them pulled out a handgun and began pistol whipping an employee.
That prompted the owner to pull out the 12-gauge shotgun and fire three shots, striking all four men, cops said. The four robbers ran, but two collapsed to the ground just outside the store. One fell right in the doorway and was declared dead at the scene. The other was rushed to the hospital where he died.
The other two ran but were picked up nearby and hospitalized.
Public records identified the owner of the business and the building it is in as Charles Augusto Jr., 72, of Irvington, NY.
Witnesses described a wild scene as the four men came running out of the business, pursued by one of Augusto's angry employees.

Good for Bernie Goetz. May he get justice for the 4 hoodlums that attempted to rob him. The two dead perps, good. Dead men tell no lies. The two wounded perps, too bad you didn’t get what you deserved. What’s the mayor and governor of the great state of New York going to say? They are both totally against gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment.
