Texas store owner Marian Chadwick
refused to back down when a gunman tried to rob her
store. Surveillance video captured the incident.
When the gunman pointed his gun at Chadwick, she pointed
right back. One bad guy picked the wrong woman
to mess with!
"In the name of Jesus I command you to get out of my store!"
store owner Marian Chadwick told him. So what did the armed
robber do? He ran!
"I think he was shocked," says Chadwick.
The confrontation happened just as Chadwick was about to close
her gift shop in Frisco, Texas, for the night. Her last customer
was in the store when the hooded gunman walked in.
"He comes up to the counter and says, 'This is a robbery, I want
your money,' " recalls Chadwick. But she turned the tables on
the robber.
"I am going, 'In the name of Jesus, you get out of my store!'
and he is saying 'I am serious,' I am saying, 'So am I,' and I'm
yelling at the top of my lungs," Chadwick tells INSIDE EDITION.
The robber then turned on customer Kathy Vereen, telling her to
get on the floor, but she also stood up to him.
"I was like, why would I get on the floor, if she's not stepping
down...kind of like, why should I?" says Vereen.
Incredibly, despite carrying a gun, the robber turned and fled.
"He started backing up and started cussing at us as if Satan was
walking out the door," remembers Chadwick.
Chadwick says she doesn't recommend standing up to armed gunmen,
but she does believe that a higher power gave her the courage to
stand up to evil.
Police believe that same robber went on to rob five other
businesses that same night. He has not yet been apprehended.
