A man wielding a shotgun strolled into a Florida convenience store during an attempted robbery, but made a swift exit once the store clerk displayed his own weapon, authorities say.
Rakim Stephen Tate, 32, walked into a convenience store in Pensacola, Florida on September 9, brandishing a large and visible shotgun at his side.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, he has been charged with attempted robbery and openly carrying a prohibited firearm. Tate began to walk around and inspect the store before a clerk, who was out of view of security footage, begins a dialogue with the suspect.
