August Fools!

A man visiting a convenience store was struck in the head with a gun when he mistook a robber for a friend playing a practical joke, police said.

The masked man entered Sandler's Party Store about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, brandished a handgun and demanded money.

Police said Patrick O'Bryan, 21, of Port Huron, walked up to the man, thinking he was a friend, and grabbed him in a playful way.

The gunman hit O'Bryan in the head with the gun, and the clerk opened two cash registers. The gunman took an undisclosed amount of cash and took off.
