He went down immediately. I switched gun hands and called 911, then went back, watched him, and they came up. The first officer that showed up, I told him I hadn&#8217;t searched him yet, so I covered {Bieluch} while he searched because {the deputy} came up single-handed.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/khq.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=413438;hostDomain=www.khq.com;playerWidth=500;playerHeight=300;isShowIcon=true;clipId=11157512;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay;galleryType=wnstory;galleryId=28160680'><\/script><a href=\"http:\/\/www.khq.com\" title=\"Spokane, North Idaho News \">Spokane, North Idaho News <\/a><\/p>\n<p>On to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toledoblade.com\/Police-Fire\/2015\/02\/20\/Attempted-aggravated-robbery-of-Toledo-phone-store-ends-with-manager-firing-warning-shot.html\">Ohio<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At about 5:03 p.m., an unknown man brandished a gun at Metro PCS, 4111 Monroe St., police said.<\/p>\n<p>Manager Kevin Karcho then pulled out a firearm and shot as the suspect stood in the doorway, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview, Mr. Karcho said the robber believed he was reaching for cash.
