San Bernardino Security Guard disarmed

SAN BERNARDINO CA A security officer at a San Bernardino marijuana dispensary was woundedMonday in a strong-arm robbery.

Around 10 a.m., a security officer had pulled up to the dispensary in the 1200 block of West Highland Avenue and was bringing some marijuana to the location when two masked men rushed him and forced him inside, said Lt. Rich Lawhead.

Once inside, the men reportedly struck the security officer in the head, took his firearm and fired one round. No one was hit by gunfire, Lawhead said.

The duo then ran off with the firearm and an undisclosed amount of marijuana, police said.

A witness said two men fled from the dispensary with a box in hand and ran about half a block to an awaiting vehicle.

The security officer appeared to be coherent and was interacting with paramedics as he was loaded into an ambulance.

Authorities did not have a description of the men nor of the fleeing vehicle.
