DANIA BEACH, Fla. - A teen trying to rob a convenience store was thwarted when he tried to load a rifle with the wrong-sized bullets.

The 16-year-old stormed into a 7-Eleven and pointed his long rifle at the store clerk, Broward County sheriff's spokesman Jim Leljedal said.

But a customer tackled the teen after seeing him trying to jam .40 caliber bullets into the .22 caliber rifle.

"It's like twice as big as the gun will fit," Leljedal said Wednesday. "It won't go."

Arrested on armed robbery charges, the state attorney's office will decide whether to charge him as an adult.

    Knife fight while driving leads to crash

    Binghamton, New York-AP -- Two Binghamton, New York, men are facing charges after police say they got into a knife fight in a moving vehicle.

    Police say they were arguing over who should be driving the S-U-V they were riding in -- then pulled out knives and slashed each other.

    The S-U-V crashed into a pole near a downtown convenience store. The men fled before police arrived.

    Police later caught up with them when they sought medical treatment for their wounds.

    Since, at my age, my doctor only allows me to drive two hours a day, my turn at the wheel would probably be over before the knife fight,
