The clerk pulled out his gun, and the customer fell to the ground. With the customer safely out of the way, the clerk shot the suspect three times.
Ahorrio dropped the knife and ran, police say. The clerk chased him and ordered him to the ground before running back to check on customers.
The clerk and the customers escaped injury. Police confiscated the clerk’s weapon and license to carry while the investigation is completed.
Man Armed With Knife Shot By Store Clerk While Attacking Customer « CBS BostonA day after the incident, customers came out to support the store clerk, who was not identified.
“I think he did what he had to do. Somebody’s trying to take your stuff, you’ve got to defend yourself, defend your place of business,” one man said. “This is probably what he uses to feed his family. He’s just doing what he’s got to do to protect his.”
How so? Both are common practice."Police confiscated the clerk's weapon and license to carry while the investigation is completed." Guilty until proven innocent.
Would like to know the final outcome of this but likely unless the clerk is charged with a crime we'll never know.
Exactly, so now the clerk is unarmed till investigation is done. It's normal procedure but kinda crazy also.How so? Both are common practice.
Fire a gun in anger or defense and you are not going to see it for quite a while. Doesn't matter if it's 'obvious' what happened, the gun's evidence. The fact that he shot someone isn't being disputed but the circumstances that led to that occurring must be investigated to discover whether or not it was justified.
Agreed. Taking the weapon for evidence, ok. Taking his license so he may not be able to carry a back-up, not so much. Especially so seeing as the situation seems pretty cut and dry that he used it defensively.Exactly, so now the clerk is unarmed till investigation is done. It's normal procedure but kinda crazy also.

This is exactly what I was thinking. At this point taking his license is penalizing him before he is charged and in my mind wrong. If he is not charged then he was wrongly penalized.Agreed.

Glad he and his customers were unharmed.
