At one point, the robber shot the victim in the hand, and fearing for his life, the victim pulled out a handgun and shot the robber multiple times, police said.



Both of the men were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Unit, where the robber later died. The victim received a non-life threatening injury to his hand.
