CCTV shows the heart-stopping moment a mother and daughter open fire on a shotgun-wielding robber after he stormed their family shop.
The pair fought off the hooded man who demanded cash from them at their Forest Acres Liquor store in Oklahoma at 6pm on Thursday night.
At first the mother and daughter appear to be co-operating but as soon as the man turns his back the mother arms herself with a handgun and starts firing at him.
Tina Ring, 53, and her daughter Ashley Lee, 30, locked him in the store and shot him multiple times.
The wounded suspect dropped his weapon and grabbed Mrs Ring, wrestling her gun away and pistol-whipping her with it before Mrs Lee shot him again and fled to safety with her mother.
The would-be thief reportedly drove himself to a local hospital where he was put into a medically induced coma.
He remains in a critical but stable condition and has yet to be questioned by police.
Horrifying footage released by the store owner shows the hooded suspect pointing his weapon at the terrified women before emptying the cash register.
As he turns to leave, Mrs Lee presses a button locking him inside the store and her mother pulls out a revolver.

They crouch together on the floor behind the counter and as the suspect marches back towards them, Mrs Ring appears to shoot him.
As he runs for the exit, she follows and is seen firing two more shots at him while her daughter dials 911.

The bleeding suspect staggers towards the pair again and Mrs Ring appears to shoot him in the leg at point-blank range.
He lunges at her and the pair become locked in a desperate struggle for the gun as Mrs Lee fires at him with a second pistol.
The suspect eventually takes the gun from Mrs Ring and appears to pistol-whip her in the head, knocking her to the ground.
He then points the gun at her daughter but it is out of ammo. Mrs Lee fires at him again and he collapses on the floor as the women hurry out of the store.
Mrs Ring suffered a gash to the head, which required staples.
Speaking out after her ordeal, she said: ‘I didn’t want him to hurt my daughter. That was my main thought.
‘All I was thinking was “just give him the money and go” and the next thing I know I see him back in my face. I’m still in shock. I don’t think I have really processed everything yet.’
Store owner Justin Christian, 33, was out of town at the time of the attack and says his mother and sister ‘did what they had to do’.
He told KJRH-TV: ‘I’m very proud of them. They fought for their life. Had my mom not made sure that the pistol she shot was empty… he tried shooting my sister with it point-blank.
‘You’re not going to scare me off from my store. This is what feeds my family, this is what pays my bills.’
Sergeant Brandon Watkins, of the Tulsa Police Department, identified Tyrone Lee, 36, as the alleged attacker and said he is suspected of carrying out several other armed robberies in the area.
He said: ‘It does appear that this is going to be the guy we had been looking for. He’s done multiple robberies here in Tulsa, as well as up in the county.’
Officers are reported to be monitoring Lee’s condition and he is expected to survive.
