A pharmacist in Pinch, W.V. gave a would-be robber a taste of his own medicine Wednesday morning.
Police say the suspect entered the Good Family Pharmacy shortly before 10 a.m. After he pulled out a gun, the pharmacist pulled out his own and opened fire.
According to a reporter at Charleston’s WCHS, the pharmacist shot the man twice. He was hit in the chest and later died at the hospital.
“Everybody is okay except the robber. He’s not okay,” the pharmacy owner said, according to West Virginia Metro News.
