SAN JOSE, Calif. -- An elderly California jewelry shop owner was violently shoved to the floor after a vehicle was used to crash into the store, and more than a dozen hooded and masked robbers smashed glass display cases and made off with merchandise. The robbery occurred about 2 p.m. Friday, according to San Jose police, who added that “multiple suspects entered the store with at least one suspect armed with a firearm.” Store surveillance video shows the owner standing behind a glass display case when the rear of an SUV bursts through the shop's glass windows and door. About 16, mostly black-clad robbers, then rush through the busted storefront. One uses a clawlike hammer to smash the case directly in front of the shop owner. Another member of the group can be seen pushing the man down as
