A store clerk's quick thinking helped Houston police capture two men who tried to rob his convenience store.
The two suspects went into the store on Centerwood and the East Freeway around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said the clerk was shot in the shoulder. But he somehow grabbed his own gun, distracted the suspects by shooting in the air, then pistol-whipped one of them.
A second clerk called police from a back room.
The clerk and one of the suspects were taken to Ben Taub Hospital. The other was arrested. "
