Undeterred, the brave shop assistant grabbed the gun pointed at her head and then wrestled with Thornton who tried to snatch the cash drawer.
But the quick-thinking employee got the till back and used it to smack Thornton over the head.
Panicking, the robber dashed out of the store as Patel pursued him with a hammer.
Recalling the terrifying ordeal, the hero shop keeper told WFXG: 'He says "get me all the money or else I'll shoot you", "I said you need money? But if you wanna shoot me go ahead and shoot it".
'My register opened and he said "No, no, no, no. I don't need change. Give me whole money".
