A Pineville, Louisiana store owner turned the tables on a group of armed robbers Sunday when he pulled out his own gun and shot two of the suspects. The incident was caught on surveillance video.
The footage shows at least two customers inside Lee Rays General Store when three men with masks enter. At least one of them is armed with a gun. They appear to threaten the man behind the counter.
Frank Issa, the store owner, said the would-be robbers demanded money. He said his brother distracted the suspects while he grabbed his own gun.
In the video, Issa is seen suddenly rising from behind the counter, armed with a handgun, and firing several shots at the suspects. The would-be robbers are then seen running from the store.

Issa said he hit one suspect in the stomach and one in the arm.
According to the sheriff, one of the men is still in the hospital. The other was treated and is now in custody.
Authorities are still searching for the third suspect.
