A robbery suspect at a Shell gas station on the city's Northwest Side wound up being shot in the buttock Sunday night by a customer who was a licensed hand gun owner.
The suspect, 35-year-old Dustin Darsp, entered the station store in the 10100 block of Culebra Road with what appeared to be a handgun, San Antonio police Det. Roberto Bernal said. Really, it was a hammer no more than 6 inches long, draped in a black cloth or sock.
“He carried it as if it was a gun and pointed it at the clerk and the customer, who was a licensed handgun owner,” Bernal said. “He wanted them to believe that what he had was a gun.”

San Antonio: Convenience Store Customer Shoots Robber
SAN ANTONIO -- A customer at a gas station foiled a robbery attempt late Sunday night when he shot the suspect once in the buttocks, police said.
A man tried to steal synthetic marijuana known as K2 from a Shell gas station on the 10100 block of Culebra, police said.
According to police, the man, identified as 35-year-old Dustin Darsp, was carrying a small hammer when he grabbed a box of K-2 and left the store.
Police said the customer followed Darsp outside the store and confronted him. The customer then opened fire and wounded Darsp in the rear-end.
Investigators said the customer is a licensed handgun owner and will not face charges because he was protected under a law that allows the use of deadly force to prevent a robbery.
Darsp was taken to University Hospital with a non-life-threatening wound. Police have not said what charges he will face.
