Clerk fatally shoots robbery suspect

The Associated Press


DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- A clerk at a Delray Beach convenience store fatally shot an armed robber.
Police say the apparent robber, who was later found to be carrying no identification, entered the Community Food Market armed with a handgun Saturday night. When one of the clerks hid behind the counter, the robber reportedly shot at him. The other clerk then took and weapon and fired at the robber.
The robber left the store, and the clerks called authorities. Police found the suspect laying face down, holding a handgun, several blocks away. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound.

Dirt Bag Robber=0

So this dirtbag shot at the clerk simply because one of the clerks hid behind the counter? If thats the case, then IMO, thats pretty messed up. Maybe he (the badguy) thought the clerk was going for a weapon, which in this case, they did have one, but this gives me the impression that the badguy had no remorse for shooting.
