A U.S. Marine Corps veteran who stopped an attempted robbery at an Arizona convenience store this week in a dramatic encounter caught on video told Fox News how it all went down.

"I turn around to go and leave, kind of walk out and as I'm turning around I hear the door kind of open real aggressively," Kelcer said about the incident Wednesday."At that point, the ‘spidey senses’ tingled a little bit.""I saw two other guys with no other weapons and decided that's the guy that I'm going to hit," Kelcer says.

The 8-second-long surveillance video shows the Marine Corps veteran grabbing the handgun and tackling the juvenile suspect. The other two suspects fled the scene. While the gas station clerk was"a little worked up" about the incident, according to Kelcer, he jumped over the counter to chase the suspects. Kelcer credited his Marine Corps training's muscle memory of knowing what to do in such incidents in addition to being"mentally prepared" when the attempted robbery occurred.
