An attempted "armed holdup" at an Orland Park gas station on Tuesday ended with the alleged robber being shot by the customer police say he was trying to steal from.

Orland Park police said officers responded around 9 a.m. to Harlem Avenue and 151st Street.

Security video shows a masked person walking up to a customer who was pumping gas at the family-owned station. Naseem Elmosa, whose family owns the business, said the person appeared to be armed.

"He was masked. It was clear on plain view sight that this person, he was armed, of course," Elmosa said.

According to Elmosa, surveillance footage from one of the station's many security cameras show the masked person calmly approaching the customer before pulling out what appeared to be a handgun.

Within seconds, the customer reached behind his back, pulled a gun from his waistband, and fired at least two shots. The footage appears to show the masked person dropping a weapon before running away.

Orland Park police described the incident as an attempted armed holdup and confirmed that the customer who fired the gun is an Illinois Concealed-Carry License holder.

"I would hope that he would just give up his keys, let him take his car, and the guy wouldn't have to use his weapon. Luckily, he had a weapon on him, and he wasn't afraid to take it out," Elmosa said.

Police said the suspect was struck by gunfire.
Authorities said the suspect was located a short time later and taken to a local hospital for treatment.

The customer who fired the shots was not injured and is cooperating with investigators, police said.

"It's just crazy to see here in Orland Park. It's just scary for everybody around here, especially having a family-owned business. Never came across this issue before," Elmosa said.

Police have not identified either person involved and have not said whether charges are expected. Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the attempted robbery and shooting.

That's one of $hotcago's "better" suburbs too. Just avoid the entire state of Hell-Annoy altogether. It's a liberal playground.

You can tell this guy practiced this everyday, like a Muslim religion, 3 times a day, in the standing, kneeling, and prone. **the contstant prayer cadence aloud "CLEAR!" "DRAW!" "PRESENT!" "FIRE!". ** The same prayer repeated in his mind all day. Praying that one day the almighty Gunfather above, would one day bless his .45 ACP, and allow it feast upon the lifeblood of man. He knew his faith would pay off and this video is absolutely proof and testament to the divine will of the Gunfather. :angel:
