The college student, who asked not to be identified, said he was the victim of a crime last December when a robber with a gun confronted him.

"They basically told me, no, I'm not getting my property because their computers were hacked," one man told Channel 2's Carl Willis.

He told Willis he was able to fire his own gun and hit the would-be robber in the leg. APD took his gun as evidence.
