A Kentucky convenience store owner turns the tables on a couple of attempted robbers and runs them off.
It happened at the Meta Discount Mart in Pikeville, according to Trooper Shaun Little.
Troopers say two men walked into the business, one of them showed a weapon and demanded cash. That's when the owner of the store, who was in the back room, heard what was going on, grabbed a weapon and approached the two. The alleged would-be robbers then took off.
Troopers say the two men were wearing gray hooded sweatshirts and masks at the time of the incident. If you have any information, call the Kentucky State Police at 606-433-7711.
