This man was very lucky to have been shot in the leg and not elsewhere. As a career banker, I have had the misfortune to have been robbed several times, twice at gun-point. On one occasion, I had the ceiling shot out over my head by an impatient young man who thought we were not putting the cash into his bag fast enough. After that, he put the gun to the manager's head.
NEVER, EVER intervene, interfere - whatever you want to call it - with someone with a gun under these circumstances.
Things could have been so much worse for this tourist and others in the restaurant.
Glad to hear the man recovered physically. Not so sure about his psychological state, though.
