UPDATE: Pizza shop owner describes robbery, shootingGood for you, Hayes. Serves the fucker right.
[...]
[John] Hayes, 37, was behind the counter Tuesday night when 20-year-old Patrick Finney, wearing an orange ski mask, walked in and pointed a sawed-off shotgun at his head just before 8 p.m.
A customer, an older woman from the neighborhood, was seated at the counter watching the Cavaliers game while waiting for a stromboli.
''He said, 'Give me the [expletive] money. This is an [expletive] robbery,'' Hayes said.
Hayes cooperated, giving the robber a stack of $10 bills. The robber wanted more and pointed the shotgun within inches of Hayes' head, he said.
''As soon as I gave him the money, I pulled my gun out from my hip, pointed it and fired four shots,'' Hayes said.
Finney fell to the floor, then stood back up. Hayes fired three more shots from his Smith & Wesson 9 mm pistol. Finney staggered outside and collapsed across the street. The cash he sought was dropped outside.
Hayes then called 911.

Akron police are investigating the shooting, but there is no indication that Hayes, who has been questioned by investigators, acted unlawfully. It was the fourth robbery at the shop since 2007.As well it should be.
Hat tip to my latest addition to the blogroll, Frenemy.

In New Zealand that would be illegal. Hayes would be hauled before the courts and various political parties would be publicly sympathising with the victim's family and blaming the problem on the ease guns are obtained with in New Zealand. [consider that guns are not easily obtainable at all in NZ]
New Zealand is seriously messed up.
Hey you two! Welcome!
I'm things are as goofy there as England. But since guns are illegal there, you have no crime with other weapons either, right? ;)
