CASSOPOLIS, MI – A man attempting armed robbery of a gas station in Michigan was stopped in his tracks by an armed customer of the store.

A customer in the store who was armed and had a valid Michigan concealed carry permit witnessed the attempted robbery. He drew his concealed carry gun and fired at the robber, hitting him multiple times. He then held the wounded man at gunpoint until the police arrived.
