That kind of bravery and chivalry is inspiring.

Hopefully the robbers are arrested and sentenced to death but the best we can hope for is probably 1 year of probation. :x

I think the dude is a hero. It take serious guts to pull out a can a bear spray when the other guy has a gun.

"Nghiem, who was likely in shock and didn't realize he had been shot, chased the men out of the store as Hong called 911 again."
What kind of Hollywood-educated idiot wrote this? If the author of this sentence had actually read a journalism textbook at some point in her life she would realize that "[he] was likely in shock" is a statement of opinion and must be attributed. Shock is a medical condition. Is she a doctor? Did she interview one?
Many shooting victims do not immediately understand that they have been shot. Those that do generally fall down, mostly out of panic. They're the ones who are in shock. This guy wasn't in shock.
