Robbery Victim Fights Back With Gun

Robberies happen every day. But police say one robber got the shock of his life when his victims fought back with a gun. The robber wound up getting shot. And police on the scene who were planning on arresting him, had to instead take him to the hospital.

For 39 years, Gerald Cook has run this jewelry store without a problem. But that all changed Tuesday. Cook says Farrelle Willis came in posing as a customer. Willis then allegedly held his knife to several employees demanding money. But instead of being a victim, one employee retrieved the store's gun. And fought the alleged robber's knife with three gunshots -- hitting Willis in the chest.

The jewelry store is still filled with bullet holes, but Cook says he's just grateful no one was killed. But hopes this teaches a lesson, to all wannabe robbers.
