A Sunrise, Fla., Wal-Mart employee used his legally carried firearm to stop an armed robber who confronted him while he was in his car getting ready to go into the store for work early Wednesday morning.

According to local media reports, the employee was approached by a man who showed him his gun and said: “You know what this is, right? Give me everything.”

What the armed robber likely wasn’t expecting to get was a victim ready to fight back. The man pulled his own firearm and began shooting, killing the armed robber.

“There’s just too much going on,” a nearby resident told WSVN. “It’s wonderful that he could protect himself, otherwise he’d be the one behind the tarp.”
