Texas cashier tells thief: Shoot me or leave

[November 05, 2008]  FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Fort Worth police are looking for a suspect after a holdup man ran up against an uncooperative convenience store clerk in an overnight robbery try. Police spokesman Lt. Paul Henderson said the man walked into a 7-Eleven in west Fort Worth about 3:20 a.m. Monday and demanded the cash from the clerk's register.

According to Henderson, the clerk answered, "No. Either shoot me or leave my store."

Henderson said the man cursed at the 30-year-old clerk and left on foot. Detectives are checking the store's security cameras for images of the suspect.
