Rich Camp was a customer at the Farmers & Merchants Bank in Long Beach when it was robbed on Friday. He took down the robber and got shot in the leg, but told LongBeachReport.com this morning (from the hospital) that he doesn't see himself as any kind of hero.

* Update: Oops, looks like Camp spoke to KTLA's Chip Yost on Friday. Video
