AZ: Employee and boss take on robbers: "Peyron, 21, is charged with murder in the death of his friend Noah Lopez, 18. He was charged under a law that makes someone culpable for murder if another dies during the commission of certain felonies, even if he did not kill the person. Montes told jurors he believes it was Stith who forced him at gunpoint into M&M Customs, 3040 N. Stone Ave. The Peyron brothers and Lopez forced his boss, Anthony Mendoza, inside, too, Montes said. As they got near the office door, Montes said he pushed Mendoza inside the office, knowing Mendoza had a shotgun there. As they yelled, Montes said Mendoza opened the door and fired one round from the shotgun. One of the men, later identified as Lopez, fled out the back door, and Montes said he grabbed his 9 mm handgun from a toolbox and took off after him. When he got outside, Lopez turned around and fired two shots at him, missing him both times, Montes said. He fired twice at Lopez. Deputy Pima County Attorney Mark Diebolt told jurors Lopez was found nearby, dead from a 9 mm gunshot wound."


La.: Armed clerk turns tables on would-be robbers: "The surveillance video shows two men bursting in, both armed. But the clerk behind the counter wasn't the only employee in the store. "Another worker, he was in the back of the store, he came out. When they hear him coming out they run to him," said store co-owner Amin Salah. Salah continued, explaining that the employee in the back of the store diverted attention away long enough to give Amin's little brother Fayez the moment he needed behind the counter to reach down and grab their 9-millimeter handgun. Fayez, known by customers by his nickname of 'Foo Foo' can be seen firing several rounds while still on his knees behind the counter. From their entry to exit those armed robbers were only in the store 12-seconds and were not hit by the unexpected gunfire that sent them scrambling out"


U.N. Arms Trade treaty: "It is apparent that small arms and ammunition will be included in the ATT final draft that will be hammered out at the month-long negotiating conference in July 2012. Small arms and ammunition have been the focus of much of the discussions by the delegates. While this was expected from many less developed states, the vehement and strident comments suggesting the scope of the proposed ATT be broadened by Australia, Sweden, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Ireland and Norway were somewhat surprising."
