FL:Valrico store clerk grabs gun, fights off robber


A gas station clerk in Valrico thwarted a robbery by grabbing the barrel of an armed robber's gun and pushing him out of the store, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

About 7:10 a.m. Thursday, the gunman entered the Mobil Mart at 2510 Highway 60 E. in Valrico, east of Miller Road, and demanded money from the store clerk, according to the sheriff's office. That's when the clerk grabbed the barrel of the revolver and wrestled with him, eventually pushing him out of the store. The suspect ran south from the store without getting any money.
