Robbery suspect dies in street | The Journal Gazette
Good to see that someone is fighting back against crime.
Although shots were fired inside the business, police said they didn’t know whether the clerk shot the robber in self-defense.
The man who died had entered Belmont Beverage, 1414 E. Tillman Road, near Lafayette Street, and demanded money just after 2:30 p.m. When officers arrived, he was found lying in the middle of Tillman and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The other man, an employee at the store, was shot in the leg, said Mike Joyner, police spokesman. He was listed in fair condition at a hospital Wednesday night. Their names were not released Wednesday.
