Pawn Shop Customer Stops Attempted Robbery.

SAN ANTONIO -- An attempted robbery at a southeast side pawn shop was thwarted Wednesday evening by a man with a concealed carry license who exchanged gunfire with the suspect.

The suspect and a security guard, who was also a customer at the store, were both hurt in the altercation.

It happened at about 7:15 p.m. at an EZ Pawn at Gevers and Fair Avenue.

"The subject walked into the EZ Pawn, pointed his gun up toward the ceiling and said this is a hold-up. Then there was a security guard with a concealed license that happened to be a customer then shots were exchanged between the two," San Antonio Police Sergeant Roy Bernal said.



The 31-year-old suspect was shot in the stomach. The suspect managed to shoot the 45-year-old security guard in the back.

Both were taken to Brooke Army Medical Center, but are expected to be OK.

Police said the entire incident was captured by a security camera inside the store.

The suspect will be charged with aggravated robbery.
