A store clerk in Philadelphia, Pa., fought for her life when two armed men allegedly burglarized the store on Feb. 1, 2022.

The 32-year-old clerk was behind the store counter with her manager, when two men entered the store from a back door just before 4 a.m. that Tuesday morning. The men then walked behind the counter, both armed, and a struggle ensued between the clerk and one of the burglars. During the struggle, the clerk was shot up to three times in the thigh. Despite the serious injuries she sustained, the clerk, who was also armed, managed to pull out her pistol and return fire at her assailant.

Her shots broke the duo's confidence, and both the would-be robbers fled the store. When authorities arrived, they found and transported the stricken clerk to a local hospital in critical condition from her leg wounds. Believing that the clerk managed to land a few hits on her attacker, police alerted local hospitals to notify them if any suspects arrived with similar wounds. Later that morning, police found a match with a man who was dropped off at Temple University Hospital with several gunshot wounds. It turned out that the clerk's shots had met their mark.
