Clarksdale, Mississippi

From the February 15, 2006 Clarksdale Press Register:
The apparent victim of an armed robbery fought back Sunday, sending the would-be robber running.
Capt. Danny Hill of the Clarksdale Police Department said the man was sitting in his truck in a store parking lot on DeSoto Avenue around 4 p.m. when he was approached.

"The (suspect) came up to him and pointed a pistol at him and demanded his money," he said. "The victim would not give up his money so the would-be robber turned and ran toward the railroad tracks."
Hill said the victim exited his truck and grabbed his shotgun, firing at the fleeing robber.
"No evidence was found to indicate that the brave-hearted would-be robber was hit by the shotgun blast," he said. "No charges have been brought against the intended victim. The 'former' robber has not been identified as of yet."
