Pellet pistol robber scared off by shop worker's real gun

A pistol packing Pizza Pipeline employee discouraged a would-be thief from robbing his store on Wednesday night. Spokane Police say the suspect entered the Pizza Pipeline at 1724 W. Wellesley armed with a pellet gun and wearing a green mask.

What the burglar didn't know is that one of the employees behind the counter happens to have a concealed pistol licence and was carrying his gun during this particular shift.

When the suspect showed his pellet gun and demanded money, the employee pulled out his pistol and told the suspect to drop his weapon. Police say the startled suspect bolted out the door at the sight of the armed employee. Police found parts of the suspect's busted pellet gun in the store's parking lot.

Responding officers set up a perimeter around the store and brought in a K-9 in an attempt to catch the suspect, but the search produced no results.
