Armed with a realistic plastic replica handgun, a 34-year-old man on Friday attempted to rob a bank in Trimble, Mo., according to police. Unfortunately for the robber, one of the bank’s employees was able to retrieve a very real Smith and Wesson .357 revolver and shoot the suspect in the face, effectively ending the robbery attempt.

I would say "That'll teach him" . . . but idiots like the criminal concerned seldom learn from their mistakes. This one was very nearly terminal for him. Let's hear it for the armed citizen who stopped him!
