Criminal Runs At Sight Of Clerk's Gun

It’s funny how frequently how bad guys decide that they don’t really want your money if they might die trying to take it:

A man in a ski mask walked into a Frankfort gas station, flashed a handgun—and found himself the target of one in the clerk’s hands.

The suspect entered the Circle K at 7654 U.S. 30 around 3 a.m. Tuesday. The suspect accosted the clerk before raising his gun, and the clerk responded by revealing his own handgun, said Will County Sheriff’s Spokesman Kathy Hoffmeyer. No one was injured and no money was taken. The suspect then fled the scene running.

Good Guy: 1, Bad Guy: 0.
