When the suspect made his way through the door, the owner pulled out her gun and fired a single shot that went through the door. It has not been confirmed by Elyria police, but the owner believes she shot the suspect. A bullet was not found in the store, and the would-be robber took off running.

Looks like desperate times, but she managed to get the gun out and make it happen ... poor thug must have caught one in the face, based on the apparent angles ...
