Tyler, Texas

From June 30, 2005 KLTV channel 7:
An East Texas store owner turns the tables on a would be robber. Their confrontation sends the robber to the hospital.

It all began just after 5 o'clock Thursday evening at the American Gold and Diamond Exchange at the intersection of Fifth Street and Fleishel.

Police said 22-year-old David Daniel pulled a butcher knife on the clerk and told her to get down on the ground. The owner was in the back of the store and saw what was going on. Police said he took out his pistol and shot Daniel in the leg.

Daniel then fled around the corner into a nearby store, Tyler Nails. The owner followed him and held him at gunpoint until police arrived. Daniel was taken to a local hospital. Police said his injury is not life-threatening. An employee of the nail salon said he saw a bleeding, masked man and wasn't quite sure what was going on
