Samuel Sven Smith, 26, was also charged on suspicion of firing at federal agents.
A Phoenix man was charged Monday on suspicion of firing at federal agents and robbing nine stores in Southern California and at least one in Arizona within a three-week period.
Smith used a distinct handbag and pointed a gun at employees at the cash register, according to a U.S Department of Justice news release. The total loss of the businesses was estimated at about $7,091. At least two rounds were fired and the vehicle was struck by gunfire. An officer returned fire from another vehicle, according to the DOJ news release.
When officers approached Smith in his car, they found him with a gunshot wound underneath his chin. He told them that when they rammed the vehicle, he accidentally shot himself. He was taken to a hospital and was recovering from his injuries.
