Victim Who Disarmed, Shot Robber is Honored by Police

By Dean Weingarten

In Lexington, Kentucky, the police department has given an award to Zara Adil, a young woman who disarmed one of two armed robbers, shot him, sent the other robber fleeing, and then fought the wounded robber for the cash register. It was all recorded on video. The police caught the suspects, and believe that they were responsible for more than a dozen robberies. It doesn’t take many violent criminals to create a lot of crime. Armed citizens are often the ones who stop these crime sprees. From lex18.com:

“Getting an award for bravery… I wasn’t expecting it because I don’t feel like I did anything out of the ordinary,” said Adil.

However, Lexington Police said there was nothing ordinary about Adil’s actions. Back in February her family store, the Tobacco Zone, was robbed.

“Robbery went down, we had a fight over the gun and I took the register and the gun from him,” said Adil.

It sounds simple, however surveillance video shows Adil defeat two men who were armed with a gun. After they threatened her and another employee, she didn’t hesitate when she saw a chance to take their weapon.
