| An employee of a pawn shop shot and critically wounded one of two gunmen who had pointed a gun at a worker during a robbery attempt Sunday morning, Phoenix police said. At about 11 a.m., two armed Hispanic men wearing masks entered Casa De Empeno Pawn Shop at 4126 W. Indian School Road. One of the gunmen pointed his weapon at the neck of a 15-year-old worker seated by the door, said Sgt. Andy Hill of the Phoenix Police Department. The store manager stepped out and fired several shots at the robbers, Hill said. A bullet struck one of the robbers in the head and the other fled. The robber who got away stole a vehicle from a customer, Hill said. There are parts of the movie 'Raising Arizona' that are surprisingly accurate. The tribulations of armed robbers is one of them. We have guns here. |
