One person was shot during a robbery near a camera and video business in Campbell. A pistol and broken camera equipment could be seen scattered outside the shop.

Five alleged thieves have been arrested after allegedly shooting the employee of a Campbell camera and video business while stealing thousands of dollars worth of equipment. 

Campbell police said that Orlando Oliva, 22, Paris Williams, 22, Darrin Bedford, 23, Kenneth Martin, 23, and Freddy McCardie, 21, were arrested Tuesday afternoon by Oakland police following the violent robbery earlier in the day. 

They have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, robbery with a firearm, kidnapping, and conspiracy.

The employee was shot while chasing the culprits into the parking lot on South Winchester Boulevard near East Hamilton Avenue., according to police. It's unclear how many people fired a gun. 

That victim is in the hospital. His condition is unknown, but police said he was "stable."
