Things did not go as planned for a bandanna-masked bandit when he brazenly strode into a Hoover, Alabama, gas station flashing a nickel-plated pistol and demanding money. The cashier tossed some bills from the register on to the floor and when the crook stooped to retrieve them, the clerk grabbed a pistol from beneath the counter and shot him dead. The slain suspect had been arrested earlier that year for another robbery and was out on bail at the time of his death awaiting trial for the capital murder of a two-year-old girl.
