A WOULD-BE ROBBER GETS MORE THAN HE WAS EXPECTING IN AN OVERNIGHT BREAK-IN.
IT HAPPENED AT THE APOLLO LIQUOR STORE IN THE 11-HUNDRED BLOCK OF EAST RIVERSIDE IN EVANSVILLE.
POLICE SAY THE MAN USED A HAMMER TO BREAK INTO THE STORE -- BUT WHEN HE GOT IN -- HE FOUND THE OWNER INSIDE. THE ROBBER PICKED UP HIS HAMMER AND STARTED TOWARD THE OWNER. THAT IS WHEN THE OWNER SAYS HE PULLED OUT A GUN AND FIRED AT THE MAN. THE OWNER SAYS HE THINKS HE HIT THE MAN -- BUT K-9S WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIN THE ROBBER HIDING ANYWHERE.
