Dramatic surveillance footage captures the moment an attempted robbery at a West Virginia pharmacy turns deadly.
The video shows Terry Gillenwater, 25, enter Good Family Pharmacy in Pinch, West Virginia, Wednesday morning wearing a bandana.
When Gillenwater reaches into his jacket and pulls out a gun, pharmacist Don Radcliff reaches for his own weapon to protect a store full of customers and employees.
The footage shows Radcliff beat Gillenwater on the draw and fire a shot that hits the robber in the chest. A second shot hits Gillenwater's gun, knocking it to the floor. As Gillenwater runs off camera, Radcliff fires a third shot that hits the suspect in the abdomen and brings him down.
Gillenwater reportedly died of his wounds on the way to the hospital.
Radcliff was shaken by the scary incident, but he has returned to his job, with the support of family, friends and his faith.
"I'm glad that God put me in a situation that I was able to do what I did," Radcliff said.
Police have announced that they will not file charges against Radcliff, who has a conceal and carry permit for his weapon.
