71-year-old Carmen Polanco Perez was
tending to the grocery store he owns in Hidalgo County, Texas when a pair of
armed robbers entered the store and demanded cash. One of the robbers then shot
Perez in the chest with a shotgun, prompting Perez to retrieve a .380-caliber
handgun he keeps under the counter and return fire. The criminals fled once
Perez started firing, but police believe that one of the robbers is a man who
later showed up at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound. Perez was treated at
a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries and has been released. (The
