From the Armed Citizen® Archives – May 1972

Mrs. Willie Green, 65, was clerking in a Chicago store when one of two "customers" pulled a gun and rushed to the cash register. Mrs. Green grabbed the robber's gun and screamed. The store manager, Benjamin Johnson, 82, then shot the bandit in the chest with a .38-cal. revolver, and the other man fled. (The Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Ill.)
