Description: The incident was captured on the shops CCTV system - video courtesy Broward Sheriffs Office A 20-year-old Christian mobile phone shop manager in Florida stopped a would-be armed robber by preaching to him about Jesus. Nayara Goncalves spent nearly five minutes persuading the man that he was doing the wrong thing. The man eventually apologised, explained his gun was a replica and left the shop in Broward County. She was able to remain calm and keep him calm, a sheriffs office spokeswoman said. During the incident on 23 July, Ms Goncalves told the would-be robber Im just going to talk with you about Jesus. The man said he was a Christian and was embarrassed to be doing what he was doing but that he needed $300 (£190) to avoid being evicted. The shop manager told him I dont know what youre going through, but all of us are going through a hard time right now. When she explained that she would have to make up any shortfall, he decided to leave. Inspired by God Ms Goncalves told the BBC she had been inspired by God and that she hoped the man would turn to the church. He didnt look that bad. He didnt look like a criminal. It made me a bit more confident about what I wanted to tell him. It touched me. I could never be able to think I could to talk or preach to someone with a gun. I just felt like hugging him and saying please dont do this. Veda Coleman-Wright, of Broward County sheriffs office, said she had never seen anything like it in her 14 years on the job. The man is being sought for attempted armed robbery, she added.

I talked to one of my friends that works for a voip phones shop about this. We both agreed that the manager was very lucky not to get hurt, but also very inspired to read the guy and talk him out of his robbery. Still, the guy is now in jail for attempted robbery. Maybe there should have been another end to this story.
