Columbus robber shot by clerk during robbery

From WBNS in Columbus:

One man is in the hospital, another in jail, and a third on the loose after they tried to rob a Columbus drive-thru carryout.

The three men walked into the Lockbourne Express Drive-Thru wearing masks just after midnight, and attempted to rob the store. But two clerks were prepared for the attempt and pulled a gun out from behind the counter. One of the robbers was shot by a clerk.

He was taken to Grant Medical Center with extensive injuries, but none are life-threatening. A second robber was apprehended near the scene. Police are still searching for a third robber.

Columbus police report several robberies in the area in recent days.

Editor's Note:
Even the United States Congress recognizes the fact that "police cannot protect, and are not legally liable for failing to protect, individual citizens...", and that "citizens frequently must use firearms to defend themselves" - check out H.R. 648, and call your U.S. Representative to ask for their support!
