bandits during hold-up
By BRETT HAMBRIGHT, Lancaster
6/30/2012
A Lancaster city store clerk pulled a
gun of his own and fired at a pair of armed robbers early Saturday
morning, police reported.
One robber, 30-year-old Rodney Green, was shot in the chest and is
receiving treatment at area hospitals, according to officials.
He underwent life-saving surgeries and is scheduled for further
procedures, officials said.
The other man fled on foot and is being sought this morning.
Police didn't immediately release a description of the man.
Two armed men in masks entered Andromeda Grocery Store at 158 S.
Queen St. at 12:30 a.m. and demanded money, police reported.
During the course of the robbery, the store clerk, a man in his
30s, pulled a gun and fired, police said. Officials said that the
clerk was in legal possession of the gun.
The clerk's name wasn't released.
Green, of Steelton, was hit in the chest, police said.
Investigators wouldn't say whether either robber fired or how many
shots the clerk fired.
Green was to be transported to another hospital, but police asked
that location not be disclosed for safety reasons.
Detectives recovered Green's gun at the store, Det. Sgt. Nathan
Nickel reported.
The other robber ran off when his accomplice was hit,
investigators reported.
Green is charged with felony robbery, conspiracy, and a felony gun
charge for illegally possessing the weapon.
He will be arraigned on the charges following his release from the
hospital.
No one else was hurt.
The small, corner store was closed following the incident Saturday
morning as detectives gathered evidence and spoke to potential
witnesses.
There was no immediate word on if and when it will re-open.
The busy corner store often stays one late at night, especially on
weekends, officials said.

"I have a dream!
A dream where instead of reading
about a cute college coed left dead and naked out in a vacant lot or
bloated and floating in a river, the story reads, “dead jackass found
double-tapped and dead on the curb as his soul wings its way to hell,
all because he messed with the wrong mama.”

+5BOTH of the above. The clerk never should have stopped after landing the first shot. Now the thug will have the opportunity to come back on him, or maybe victimize someone else.
But I fear many people would do the same thing, if it were them.
Take the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
This group was named after President Reagan's Press Secretary James Brady.
James Brady made *MILLIONS* of dollars after he was shot in a “Gun-Free Zone”.
Then every time someone was killed in a “Gun-Free Zone”, the Bradys made *MILLIONS* of dollars more by dancing in the blood of the victims to drum up even more money.
They are so dedicated to making money of the deaths of unarmed victims in “Gun-Free Zones”; When Vice-Principal Joel Myrick, ran off campus and retrieved his gun, that he used to *STOP* the Pearl High School massacre, the Bradys demanded that he be prosecuted for *VIOLATING THE “GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE” LAW*!
Lately, they have been parading around a Virginia Tech “Gun-Free Zones” survivor, having him tell how terrible it was when Cho came in shooting. Yet they neglect to point out that the shooting was only made possible because the victims were *UNARMED*.
Anybody see the stupid on the news with the fake gun his mommy took from him and got him out of there?

I'm hoping that bystanders prevented the store clerck from firing at the second noob.
Also, if the guy had tuned and ran the clerk may have been facing charges himself.
All in all.... good job.
Many feel that the shooting should stop when the assailant attempts to leave.
But what *NEXT TIME* and about my elderly neighbor, who might not be as skilled or prepared?
If the criminal dies during our encounter, my neighbor will be safe from him.
I like them!
THANK YOU for sharing!
