The owner's brother stood behind the police tape, wishing this could have been just a normal Friday night.

'Top in Town Wireless' in Astoria was a mess on Friday night with phone cases scattered across the floor and shelves knocked over. There were also shell casings of the bullets that struck the owner.

"We were supposed to go to dinner together - and I was calling him that 'what time are you picking me up from the home?' and he said 'I just got shot, can you make your way here?" said Gurpreet Singh. "I'm pretty sure he's a tough man himself. He might have given them a fight because I know my brother-he doesn't give up to the robbers so easily," said Gurpreet.

The cell phone store on Steinway Street was burglarized a few years ago, another business owner recalls.
