Clerk pulls handgun on robber, one shot fired before suspect flees empty-handed
A would-be-robber got more than he bargained for from behind the counter of a local convenience store.
At about 2:47 Wednesday morning, Kingsport Police responded to Central Chevron and Food Mart, 220 Carolina Pottery Drive. The clerk stated a white male entered the store with a knife and demanded all the money.
But, according to police, at this point the clerk pulled a handgun from behind the counter. When he told the suspect to leave, he lunged towards the clerk. One shot was fired in to the air, spooking the robber, who then fled empty-handed.
