A concealed carry permit holder in Washington state used his firearm on Friday to save himself and a companion from an armed assailant.

According to local media, 26-year-old Terry Webb was attempting to rob two people at gunpoint on a Tacoma, Wash., street. One of the victims, however, was legally carrying a concealed handgun, and used it to shoot the robber, ending the episode.

Webb was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. Neither of the victims were injured.
