But if you're a cop, even when you're off duty, you're never really off.

So it was no surprise this couple of cops spraying to duty on what was supposed to be date night.

A masked gunman barges into a restaurant, displays his gun and screams for the cashier to give him all the cash.

The bad guy apparently thought the place was deserted.

But look way in the back there.

Ah, husband and wife are trying to enjoy their date night out.

Guess what?

They're both cops.

Detective Chase McCowen and his wife, Nicole, are newlyweds.

They got married six months ago.

They just wanted a quiet night out at one of their favorite restaurants.

I could see the man's hands and I could see the firearm in his hand.

It wasn't until I saw the cashier's hands go up like this, and I looked at him because he didn't want to think he's doing.

When they realized what was happening at the restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, they left out of the booth with guns drawn.

Then they charged at the armed robber who makes a run for it.

You went right now went left and it prevented him from coming out the back.

One of those things.

When we train, we trained, not be in front of each other to avoid crossfire across or one behind another, they chased him out the door.

They held the suspect at gunpoint until backup arrived.

And today these crime fighting newlyweds are being hailed as heroes.

Wouldn't you look back on this and realize that you just happened to be in the right place at the right time?

What do you think?

It's always gonna stand out.

You know, it's gonna bring back the bring back the date night that turned crazy.

And the suspect was arrested on robbery and gun charges.

He's due back in court next week.
