ROSEVILLE, Mich. – Roseville police said two men were on the run Tuesday after holding up a coin shop that resulted in the exchange of gunfire.
Police said the gunman entered the Coin Cove Jewelry Co. on Gratiot Avenue, north of 10 Mile Road, just after 11 a.m. and ordered everyone inside to the ground by firing one shot into the ceiling. They said an armed employee of the store returned fire at the gunman as they fled the store.

That employee was owner Gene Christian.
Christian said he fired his .357 Magnum handgun at the men.
"Very very scary," Christian said. "He fired one round at me, missed. Then he ran in front and I fired one round at them and they fired about three or four more rounds."
