Authorities are searching for a group of suspects who targeted a Manhattan Beach jewelry store in a smash-and-grab robbery before an employee opened fire on them. The scene unfolded at around 12:40 p.m., when El Segundo police were dispatched to Prestige Jewelers, located in the 3000 block of N. Sepulveda Boulevard after learning of the attempted robbery, according to a statement from Manhattan Beach Police Department.
