HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) - Police are investigating an attempted robbery that has a little bit of an unusual twist.

Police say just after 9:00 p.m., a man went to the Thrift Mart on University Dr, which was closed at the time, and threw some sort of rock through the window and pointed a gun at employees, demanding money.

An employee inside the store pulled out a gun of her own and pointed it at the man, according to police.

The man immediately fled on foot. Police are currently searching for him with their K-9 unit.
