OCALA, FL - Two teens who were allegedly trying to rob an internet café in Florida were shot by a man sitting inside the building, according to Wednesday reports.

Davis G. Dawkins and Duwayne Henderson, both 19, entered the Palms Internet Café in Ocala Friday night with a handgun and a baseball bat, according to an ABCNews article .

Video shows the suspects running into the café and one swings the bat toward something out of view while the other is holding up the gun.

Samuel Williams, 71, reportedly gets up from his computer and pulls out a .380-caliber handgun, according to the article.

Williams can be seen running toward the suspects, who run out of the building.

The suspects were later arrested and face attempted robbery with a firearm and criminal mischief charges, according to FOXNews.com .

Dawkins reportedly suffered a superficial wound to one of his arms while Henderson was shot in his left buttock and right hip.

Officials said it is unlikely Willliams will face any charges because the shooting seemed justifiable, according to ABCNews.
