Police: Robbery suspect loses ‘bet’ that victim doesn’t have a gun
The man began to walk away, when , police say, he turned around and said “I bet you don’t have one of these”, pointing a gun in his direction.
The guest did have “one of these,” and began firing at the suspect. He reportedly hit the man at least once.
