An armed man allegedly tried to hold up a convenience store in the East Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, but he found that the owner was too well prepared. WCPO reports that the owner fired his own gun at the suspect and grazed his stomach. The would-be robber was taken into custody nearby, and police recovered a firearm from him.

Police have not released the names of the individuals while they investigate surveillance footage of the incident. They did confirm that the store owner was unharmed.
