MOBILE, Alabama — A would-be robber entered the Cody Road Convenience Store at 6:28 a.m. today, armed with a handgun and demanding money, Mobile police reported.

There was just one problem: The victim behind the counter responded by grabbing his own pistol and aimed it at the robber, police said.

The thief then fled the scene, headed south after failing to take anything from the business, police said. The suspect is described as a black male, with a light or medium skin complexion; about 5 feet, 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall; with a think build, a low haircut and wearing a long-sleeve white T-shirt and dark pants.
