Business is back to normal at a BP station on Ashley Road near Interstate 85 in west Charlotte after an early morning robbery attempt.
Store manager Rebecca Williamson is hoping that what happened early Monday morning sends a loud message out to criminals.
"It's 2005. People are not playing around anymore. There's a lot of stores getting robbed around here and there's a lot of people taking action," said Williamson.
According to police, just before 3 a.m. Monday morning, two men with guns came into rob Williamson's store.
Police said seconds after getting cash and a cell phone from an employee, the employee pulled a gun of his own. He shot one of the suspects three times. Then, the clerk jumped into the robbers' getaway car and tried chasing down the second gunman who took off running.
