A restaurant owner who snatched a gun from a robber was shocked when she later fired the weapon which she thought was fake, but turned out wasn't.
Keqiu Wang, who runs Crazy Wings in Norfolk, Virginia, U.S. with her husband Jiamde Lin, encountered the armed teenager on Sunday night.
Footage from the incident caught by surveillance camera shows Wang trying to take the gun from the young robber as he was putting the customer's money in his pocket. At that point, her husband came from the kitchen and chopped the robber's shoulder with a cleaver, leaving two deep wounds, the police said, while Wang managed to wrest the firearm from him.
After the robber fled the scene, Wang is seen firing the gun at the floor and is clearly shocked to discover the 9mm handgun is genuine.
The robber fled with the money but was later found and taken to a hospital. He has since been taken into custody on charges of robbery and use of a firearm in a felony.
