Armed Clerk Draws Pistol, Stops Armed Robber
CINCINNATI, OHIO — The tables get turned on an armed robber who brazenly walked into a gas station with his pistol drawn. The clerk was a licensed concealed carrier and seeing the surgical gloves, handgun, and mask, quickly figured out what was going on and let his training take over. He managed to score one direct hit and that was enough to force the robber to flee.
According to Local 12 WKRC Cincinnati, Cincinnati police picked up the suspect not far from the scene of the crime where he was matched to a description given by the clerk. He did have a gunshot wound so they took him to the hospital prior to booking him.
Because the bad guy didn’t carry his ID on him, they’re waiting to find out the identity of the armed robber apprehended in this case.
It all comes down to situational awareness.
