SC: Needle versus Gun; Gun Wins

The victim said the man demanded money and threatened to inject her with a needle he was carrying. Police often hear reports of ATM robberies, but not the latter.

"They're contaminated, they're dirty, needles," said Lt. Raul Denis, of the Horry County Police Department. "But it's not a common occurrence to be threatened with a needle."

The victim, who happens to have a concealed weapons permit, drew her weapon on the robber and watched as he ran off, police said.
