handguns FTW!

So here's the story:

[Nabil] Fawzi was the first customer at the Comerica Bank [...] Monday when police say would-be bank robber Joseph Webster, 53, of Ypsilanti walked in.

Webster allegedly handed a teller a note demanding money and claiming to have bomb strapped to his chest.

Fawzi [...] noticed his own teller was acting strangely. When he asked what was wrong and she indicated a robbery was under way, Fawzi took action.

[...]

Within seconds, Fawzi drew his handgun, racked a round in the chamber and told the man that he wasn't robbing the bank.

"But I have a bomb," the robber told Fawzi.

"I don't care," Fawzi replied. "You are not robbing this bank today."

In the land of 'what could possibly go wrong?' this story has a special place in my heart.

No mention of anything from the last 1/3 of the article? "Canton Police Detective Sgt. Rick Pomorski credited the customer for his quick actions - but noted that police prefer citizens to serve as witnesses instead of taking matters into their own hands in dangerous situations." and more... (including a quote from the police, where Fawzi is from, how he was trained, and the way he's going to celebrate)

My colleague was quite taken with the planned 'hot dogs and cheap gas' party.
