A Smoke 4 Less store clerk in Durham, North Carolina got into a shootout with an armed robber, and police just released the video Thursday.
It’s pretty incredible.
WATCH:
First of all, you gotta give props to this clerk. From my detailed, CSI-level video analysis he was already brandishing his weapon before the masked gunman even entered the store.
Now that’s some emergency preparedness.
He likely saw the robber coming in via the parking lot security camera, which police have also released.
WATCH:
I like this camera angle because it shows just how quickly this thug tucked his tail and ran. He may have planned to rob a Smoke 4 Less, but he was definitely not looking to get Smoked 4 his actions.
On a serious note, police release these videos for a reason beyond entertaining bored internet users like me. The Durham police are still trying to identify the man in the video, which happened on Avondale Drive on Sept. 28.
