He pulls a gun on two men in robbery attempt — and finds out the hard way one is a concealed carrier

When police said a would-be robber pulled a gun on two men outside a Detroit market Sunday night, little did he know one of his victims is a concealed pistol license holder — who quickly pulled a gun of his own and shot the assailant multiple times.

And it was all caught on surveillance video, the station said.

What went down?

• Video shows a hooded man — identified as Sanchez Quinn, 29, police told WJBK-TV — pulling a gun on two pedestrians outside the Super X Market.

• The victim with the concealed carry license, seen wearing a black and white T-shirt and shorts, told the station his first thought was to grab his gun.
• "I turned and looked and saw the other gentleman had a gun pointed at my face," the man told WJBK by phone. "I was able to knock his hand down and the gunfire rang out."

• The other victim — the concealed carrier's cousin — was shot four times in the crossfire but is expected to recover, the station said.

• Quinn was arrested, WJBK said, along with a partner. Quinn is recovering from his gunshots in a hospital, the station added.

What else did the concealed carrier say?

• "It makes me mad because ... you have people out here, they work every day, they're innocent and you want to take from them," the victim, with the concealed carry license, told WJBK. "These guys ... I feel that they definitely don't need to be back out on the street because someone else can end up getting hurt, and the situation might be a totally different way."
• He told the station that he never before encountered a situation like that.

What did police say?

• Police told the concealed carry license holder it's fortunate he was legally armed or he and his cousin may not be alive today, WJBK reported.
• It appears to be a case of self-defense, police said to the station, but it's still under investigation.

What did the suspect's mother say?

• Cynthia Quinn told the station she rushed to Henry Ford Hospital when she heard her son had been shot but was denied entry to his hospital room.

• "When I went to my son's room I was stopped by two police officers [who] told me to get out of my son's room," she told WJBK. "'Why you here? You cannot be here.'"
• "All I wanna do is see my son to see if he's alright, if he's dead or alive," Cynthia Quinn added to the station. "What's so hard about that?"
