El Cajon Police said one of the suspects, armed with a replica handgun, held the store's employee at gunpoint as the two others smashed a display case with a hammer and grabbed several real handguns. The suspects fled in a red sedan, the employee told 911 dispatchers.
A short time later, El Cajon and La Mesa police officers tried to pull over a car matching the description. The vehicle pulled off in La Mesa, and after a few quick turns, the car ran into a dead end. Multiple police vehicles blocked the car in when the suspects tried to turn around. Three people - two juveniles and one adult - were arrested after officers searched their car and found the stolen handguns, replica gun and masks, police say.
All three face felony charges of armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The driver, 20-year-old Mykeon D. Menefee, was also be charged with felony evasion, among 14 counts. Menefee was booked into the San Diego County Jail, while the two juveniles were booked into the Juvenile Detention Center. No injuries were reported in the robbery, but the owner of the shop was extremely shaken up by the ordeal.

Gee, a real gun dealer is shaken when faced with what he thought was a gun. Maybe now he knows how the rest of us feel about guns.
