Less than ten miles from your house and in my old neighborhood. Since you've asked several times in the past, this is one of the reasons why some of us carry guns.

On December 30th at 8:25pm, 25-year old Brandon Smith and his girlfriend, 23-year old Elizabeth Almand, were seen shoplifting from the Raley’s grocery store in Loomis.
A Raley’s loss-prevention employee walked out after the couple and when confronted, a physical fight ensued between Smith and the employee. Smith then pulled out a knife on the loss-prevention employee and cut his finger.
There was a struggle between Smith and the employee for the knife, which was then taken by the second suspect, Almand.
At one point, Smith shouted for Almand to stab the employee, when a Good Samaritan stepped in to help.
The Good Samaritan, who was carrying a concealed weapon, yelled for Almand to drop the knife, which she immediately did.The Good Samaritan is a registered CCW holder with a permit from Calaveras County.He blocked Almand from accessing the knife as he waited for law enforcement to arrive.
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident and subsequently arrested Smith and Almand. The California Highway Patrol also responded to assist. Deputies found approximately $50 worth of items were stolen from the grocery store. Smith and Almand were both booked into the South Placer Jail; Smith is being charged with robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, and Almand is being charged with robbery and conspiracy.
