The same gunman was thwarted by a bold clerk in one location but got money from another. And now they hope this video will help fine the dangerous suspect before he strikes again. This armed suspect hit two Corner Stores in philadelphia in a matter of minutes. Here at the second location the store clerk really turned the tables on this armed man, it was captured on the video and the victim himself described what happened. If they give me the chance to save myself, im going to do it. And that is exactly what store clerk john garcia did friday morning. When this man came into his sisters store and point aid gun right at him. In five minutes, i opened up and he came in and he pointed his gun at me and said, if you dont give me everything i am shooting. It was 7 38 a. M. , 8 minutes earlier the suspect hit the kns super store a couple of block as way. And the suspect pointed the weapon at a 63yearold female employee, she gave him 20 and two packs of cigarettes. Garcia was not taking chances, when the robber showed up at his store, he has been robbed before and has a permit to carry. I know how to deal with the situation. With the gun pointed at him he step out of side for a second and came back with his gun now pointed at the suspect. He got surprised himself, because he wasnt inexpecting that . I said get out im the one shooting. He just ran away. Garcia ran after the man to make sure he was gone. The suspect did not get away with anything. Fortunately the situation the owner was able to get his gun out and chase him away. But if someone comes on it again, and a shootout occurs a lot of things could happen. Garcia does believe that the man has been in the store before although not often. Police think he is from the neighborhood. Anybody with information is asked to call the tip line.
