“You’re my friend, how could you do this to me?” That was all Georgi Layous could blurt out when a long-time customer pulled a gun on the Chicago jeweler and demanded his money. Nineteen-year-old Musa Thomas had been selling gold jewelry to Layous for about five years. Now we know where a lot of that jewelry likely came from. But Thomas was angry when he found only $11 in the till. He pushed Layous and his wife to the ground, made the old man open the store’s safes and fired off a couple of shots without hitting anyone. Then the yoot yanked a gold chain from around Layous’ 4-year-old granddaughter’s neck . . .
Before leaving, the robber turned his back and began fiddling with a computer to get at surveillance video. The 66-year-old Layous — paralyzed on his right side from a stroke years ago — said he saw his chance.Turning to his wife, he told her in Arabic, “Give me the gun.” As his grandchildren cried on a couch behind him, Layous said he took the .380-caliber pistol in his left hand and shot the robber in the leg.
Thomas is currently recovering from a gunshot wound to the hip, chicagotribune.com reports, before taking up his new residence in the Cook County Jail.
“If he didn’t get to the gun I don’t even know what would have happened,’’ said the children’s father, Joseph Layous.He is trying to help his children understand the robbery and he hopes they will forget about it and not worry too much.
“Not all guns are bad,’’ Joseph Layous said he told his children.
Not even in Chicago.
"What’s Chicago coming to when a thief robs his fence and the fence shoots the thief?"
Someone beat me to it. So I'll go with my second thought. 'Isn't it entertaining when Muzzies turn on each other.'
Meanwhile in Detroit, defensive shootings have skyrocketed.
Its a good thing.
“It is such a pity both survived.”

I agree but since Detroit is very anti-gun and anti-self defense any stat on how many of the shooters are now being prosecuted?

Musa sounds like a follower of Islam to me.

My guess is that Layous is an Arab Christian, with a name like Georgi and a son named Joseph, not Yusuf.
Thomas does not.
Ambidextrous practice at the range is always a good idea. Inamsuch as the shooter was paralyzed on his right side, left-handed marksmanship is an absolute necessity.
Unfortunately, we can only wait for the store owner to be arrested and charged with a nonsensical something-or-other in “gun free” Chicago.
