Clerk fighting off robber caught on camera

It took some guts to do this. And while some would say it was dangerous to try, others will take the clerk's side and say it could have been a matter of life or death.

A Georgia clerk, in Burke County, fought off a robber who had a gun pointed at her face. Surveillance video shows the man walking up to the counter to pay for a drink, just before pulling a gun from his pants and pointing it at the clerk.

Well, the clerk wasn't about to let him get away so she fought back by grabbing the cash register drawer and hitting him on the head. She even threatened him with a hammer as the man ran out of the store.

Police searched for the suspect but couldn't find it. Anyone with information is asked to call the Burke County Sheriff's Office.
