"Shortly after 5 a.m., North Charleston [S.C.] police responded to reports of an armed robbery and shots fired at the Waffle House at 6907 Dorchester Road. When officers arrived, they found the suspect had been shot by a customer who had intervened.
'He saved us, that’s what he did,' a Waffle House employee told The Post and Courier.
The suspect was rushed to Medical University Hospital, where he later died.
According to [police spokeswoman Angela] Johnson, the customer who shot the suspect had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She said police are not pressing charges against him at this time.
'It’s says something about firearms,' said a uniformed officer at the scene, 'for good people with firearms being in the right hands.' The officer said he was not authorized to speak for the department."
