Store Owner Shoots Back At Suspects In Bond Hill Robbery

Cincinnati police are investigating an old fashioned shootout at a bond
hill gas station.

The store owner said that over his dead body would any robber be getting
away with his hard earned cash.

9News will show you the the surveillance video that captured part of the
shootout.

Saper Ayad says he’s always prepared and waiting for a robber to walk in
with a gun, and last night at the Sunoco on Seymour and Langdon Farm
road his preparedness was put to the test.

“It is dangerous, but you know, you got no feeling no more,” said Ayad,
a co-owner at the gas station.

Ayad says around 11:30 p.m. Monday night he noticed on surveillance
video from his back office that a robber was holding his clerk up with a
gun, so Ayad grabbed his gun.

“When he shot at me it made me more mad,” said Ayad. “If he did it again
I would do it again but I hope it’s not going to happen again.”

Take a look at the bottom left hand corner of your screen. The man in
the white baseball cap is pointing a gun at the clerk.

When Ayad comes out from the back the suspect fires — and from behind
the counter Ayad fires back.

“He tried to run out the door,” said Ayad. “I chased him with a gun
shooting at him as he ran.”

Ayad’s partner says there should be a bullet hole in the suspect’s car.

There’s a hole where Ayad fired and missed inside the store.

“I don’t like to shoot,” said Ayad. “I don’t like to carry guns, but
sometimes you have, I feel, I got no choice.”

No one was injured but one of the store’s co-owners says he’s becoming
very frustrated.

“The store’s owner says two weeks ago his other store here in Mount Airy
was hit twice in one week. He says the robber stole thousands of dollars
and tied up his employees, even forcing one of them to strip,” said the
co-owner.

“Usually around the holidays, that’s when they take place,” said Sam
Daas, one of the co-owners. “It’s going to get worse before it’s going
to get better, i hate to say this.”

The owners say police brought in two suspects Tuesday night but so far
haven’t arrested anyone.

In the meantime, officers say they don’t condone vigilante-style
justice. Instead they recommend just handing over the money.
