Woman Dodges Bullet (then pulls her own pistol)

A woman in Texas dodged a bullet during an attempted robbery and it was all caught on tape. It happened this weekend at a convenience store in Longview.
The woman was working behind the counter when a man walked in and pointed a gun at her face. The woman leaned to the right and ducked just as the man pulled the trigger.
The bullet missed her head but that’s not where the story ends. The woman grabbed her own pistol from behind the counter and pointed it at the crook. The man ran out of the store and the clerk fired a shot, but missed.
The woman was not injured and police hope the surveillance images will help them make an arrest.
Our next piece of video takes us to Saint Helena Parish, Louisiana where a tornado caused extensive damage Sunday. The twister ripped down power lines, uprooted trees, and damages several buildings.
No injuries were reported but crews have a big mess to clean up.
INDICTED

Lebanese prosecutor indicts 56 people accused of belonging to militant groups

A Lebanese prosecutor issued indictments Monday against 56 people accused of belonging to extremist groups including al-Qaeda, the state-run news agency reported. Of the 56 suspects, 18 were under arrest and nine others, who were at large, were specifically identified in the indictment.
They include Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians, Jordanians and Saudis, the National News Agency reported. The agency said the 29 others were identified in the indictment by their noms de guerre or by partial names because the government was unclear about their exact identities. (AP)
