James Israel, the owner of Gamerz on Broad River Road tells News 19 that it was around 9:30 in the morning when the man came in to rob them. He says, "He was pointing a gun at me and the guy I was playing a video game with."
The robber took money from Isreal and one of his customers and then Isreal says he saw an opportunity, "He (the man) turned and was going to the other people. That's when I was able to get in my pocket and pull my gun out."
