The brazen armed robbery happened at the "Quail Street News Convenience Store" around 5:15 Tuesday morning.

The video first shows the gunman walking into the store with a shotgun...

He then lays his gun down on the counter...

He orders the clerk to dish out cash from the register...

But as the gunman wads up the loot he is able to get his hands on, you then see the clerk grab the gun off the counter, and point it at the gunman!lol

The suspect then dashes out of the store - but then comes back a few seconds later, while the clerk is on the phone with police...
The clerk says he did not pull the trigger because he was worried his surveillance video might not have been recording, and there was no one else around.

"If anybody's here, like even the kid, someone eyewitness - I was going to kill him," says store clerk, Hafiz Alam. "It's not right to rob somebody."

The hold-up led to a six-hour standoff outside 71 Westerlo Street Tuesday morning. Police eventually arrested 22-year-old Justin William Walker. He is now being charged with first-degree robbery.
