A Philadelphia diner owner told all after he shot and killed a would-be robber and wounded another one on Thursday afternoon.

Jason Lee, 45, owner of Sunrise Breakfast in West Oak Lane, said he was not a hero, just a man trying to protect himself and those around him.

On Thursday morning, he shot and killed 20-year-old Cornell Toombs after he and 24-year-old Gary Williams pointed a gun at a diner employee, authorities said. The men demanded cash and threatened to open fire during the attempted robbery, Lee explained.

As the owner's wife stepped to action and started opening the cash drawer because the cashier was shaking too badly to do it, the store owner grabbed his registered gun and prepared himself for the worst.

One of the robbers fired at Lee, but missed. Lee shot Toombs in the head and pumped two bullets into Williams -- one in the face and another in the back, according to police.

Williams was listed in critical but stable condition on Friday morning, authorities said.

This wasn't the first time Lee was targeted. He was robbed twice in two others stores he owned. One of those times, he shot and killed a robber.

After shots were fired in his store on Thursday, a nearby witness grabbed his daughter's cell phone and captured the aftermath on the device's video recorder.

The images could be considered disburbing to some people.

The man, Gary, did not wish to use his last name, but recorded Lee standing over Williams on the sidewalk, forcing him down on the concrete until police arrived.

Authorities said Lee would not be charged because he was acting in self hyphen defense.
