Mother-daughter duo thwart armed robbery in Oklahoma liquor store shootout

Ashley Lee, 30, and her mother Tina Ring, 53, were working at the family’s liquor store, Forest Acres Liquor, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A masked man, Tyrone Lee, 36, entered the store holding a shotgun.

Ashley opened the register and put her hands up as he rifled through the register. The armed robber appeared to be leaving the store. Then the mother and daughter crouched behind the counter and the daughter handed a pistol from under the register to her mother. Suddenly, the suspect is seen running back behind the counter. The mother fired her first shot, then more shots. Multiple shots chased him out of the store.

However the robber came back to the store and Tina Ring fired again. Tina Ring did not continue to shoot and let the suspect pass her and leave. But the robber tried to wrestle the gun from her hands. While he and Ring were fighting, Ashley fired her own gun at him. He eventually was able to seize Ring’s gun and pistol whipped her. However he didn’t realize the mom’s gun was out of ammo and her daughter squeezed off a shot at point blank range.

The robber drove himself to a local hospital. He is expected to survive. He is responsible for a string of armed robberies in the area. Tina suffered a gash to the head, which required staples. Store owner Justin Christian, 33, was out of town at the time of the attack.
