SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -
A convenience store clerk fought back as an armed duo burst into the store where he was working. Those bandits got a big surprise of their own, before rushing out for their own safety.
The attempted armed robbery happened just after 11:30 Wednesday night at the Fina gas station and store in the 44-hundred block of Hilry Huckaby Drive in north Shreveport. The owner said he's just grateful that his little brother survived. He granted me access to the store and the security system which captured the whole thing on tape.
The surveillance video shows two men bursting in, both armed. But the clerk behind the counter wasn't the only employee in the store. "Another worker, he was in the back of the store, he came out. When they hear him coming out they run to him," said store co-owner Amin Salah.
Salah continued, explaining that the employee in the back of the store diverted attention away long enough to give Amin's little brother Fayez the moment he needed behind the counter to reach down and grab their 9-millimeter handgun. Fayez, known by customers by his nickname of 'Foo Foo' can be seen firing several rounds while still on his knees behind the counter.

Especually if they are moving I would imagine. Ranges don’t have moving targets, atleast nothing around in my neighborhood. I never wanted to own a large piece of land in the country befor I became interested in firearms.
I can't think of an uglier street name....

If you look at the video, the clerk was behind the counter with the weapon above his head just pumping off rounds. The only damage he probably did was to some items in the store.
