An armed robbery attempt at a Salt Lake City
pawn shop was foiled Tuesday afternoon when employees at the store returned
gunfire, forcing the intruders to flee, police reported.
The shootout happened around 11:15 a.m., when
two men entered Pickle's Pawn at 1514 S. State St., according to Salt Lake City
police Sgt. Fred Louis.
Two employees exchanged fire with the would-be
bandits, who were last seen jumping into a white Chevrolet Cavalier with two
women.
No one was injured. [Unfortunately, they
missed.]
As of Tuesday evening, police were still trying
to determine the identities and whereabouts of the suspects, who are believed to
be in their twenties.
