A store clerk in NJ refused to be a victim after a rash of store robberies in the area, some of which left clerks injured after being pistol whipped.
The clerk opened fire on two armed men who entered his store. One of the men was shot and both fled in a getaway car, driven by a third suspect.
Police arrested all three suspects nearby and the wounded would be robber is being treated at an area hospital.
Police believe the suspects are responsible for several other recent robberies in the area that have had store owners and clerks on edge.
New Jersey does have strict gun laws and we hope that the NJ authorities will not turn the clerk from victim to criminal in this case.
