Justice Served

Surveillance cameras at a convenience store in Houston, TX caught amazing footage of a botched robbery that ended pretty badly for the thieves. The footage captures two men storm into the store armed with a gun. A clerk-in-training is shot in the leg  by one of the robbers while his accomplice, 22 year old Harold Robertson, hops over the counter and starts searching through the shelves. A few seconds later, a second clerk snatches up his hidden gun and fires at Robertson hitting him twice in the upper body. Then we see Robertson hurl himself back over the counter, clearly in pain, and gets the hell out of dodge.

He fled to the house across the street and told the homeowner, Gerald Kilpatrick, that he was carjacked and shot. Robertson stayed on the porch while a suspicious Kilpatrick called the police. Robertson was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. He is going straight to jail right after he gets out of the hospital. His partner and getaway driver are still at large. The injured clerk was released from the hospital and I'm guessing he is now willingly unemployed. This incident is yet more proof that working at a convenient store is one the most dangerous jobs.
