   Harry James McCullough took it personally. The former security

   guard was standing at a Walgreens checkout counter when he saw

   two masked men, one with a sawed-off shotgun, enter the store.

   Marquail Thomas, 18, pointed the shotgun at customers and yelled,

   "Nobody (expletive) move!''

   "There's no doubt in my mind what they were going to do,"

   McCullough said Thursday. "There was no time to react. You only

   have one chance."

   McCullough pulled out a pistol and shot Thomas four times. Thomas

   collapsed outside the store and died later at a hospital.

   McCullough chased down the second masked man, whom Omaha police

   have identified as Angelo Douglas, 17, and held him until officers

   arrived. Jauvier Perkins, 15, who police said was the getaway driver,

   was arrested Wednesday.

   Prosecutors said all three are known gang members.
