HIGHLAND PARK (WWJ) - A restaurant owner pulled out a gun and killed a would-be robber in what police say appears to be a justified shooting.
It happened around 1:15 a.m. Thursday at the Woodward Bistro on Woodward Avenue, just south of the Davison Freeway in Highland Park.
The owner, a waitress and the bartender were in the back room cashing out for the night when a man walked in, pulled a gun from his sock and announced a holdup. The owner, who is a CPL holder, pulled out his own gun and fatally shot the man.
Police are still investigating, but say it appears to be a justified shooting.
The waitress was grazed by a bullet, but is expected to be OK.
