A would-be armed robber apparently had second thoughts when an employee pulled out his shotgun Monday night.
It happened at the Salem & Sons Convenience Store on Sunset Avenue in Rocky Mount around 10:20 p.m.
Police say employees were inside cleaning up, and saw a customer at the front door. They let the man inside, but at the same time another man came in as well and showed a black handgun in the direction of an employee. That employee immediately got his shotgun, racked the slide, and pointed it at the would-be robber.
The robber then turned around and slowly left the store. Nothing was taken in the robbery attempt.
Rocky Mount police say there were two other successful robberies Monday night.
The first, around 6:20 p.m. at the Family Dollar on Harbour West Drive. There a man showed a black handgun and demanded money out of the cash register. Then at 10:00 p.m. at the Kangaroo Mart on North Wesleyan Boulevard a customer first asked for change. When the clerk refused, the man told her it was a robbery. Police say no weapon was shown in that robbery.

The shot gun would stop the robber....permanently. (Is that tame enough for you moderator???)
why is someone yelling NAACP. the article did not say rather the person was blck or white. come on NC..stop being so prejudice
Actually, I feel that if someone attempts to rob me, I have the right to use deadly force even if the criminal has no weapon. If I don't have a weapon, I more than likely will be beaten by the criminal and he accomplises. If you don't want to get killed, leave other people alone. You have no right to take other peoples stuff.
