"Convenience Store Clerk Kills Robber"

Channel 2 in Houston has this story from April 4th:

HOUSTON -- Cash scattered inside and out of a southeast Houston convenience store was a clear sign that a robber may have gotten the money, but he didn't get far, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Houston police said Peter Quang Dan, owner of the Colony Express Market in the 2500 block of Broadway Street near the South Loop, pulled the trigger during the robbery at about 11:50 p.m. Thursday.
"Two suspects walked in the store and attempted to rob, or did rob the convenience store," Sgt. J. Rubio said. "The store clerk discharged a firearm and hit one of the suspects, and one suspect fled the scene."
Police said Dan was pistol-whipped and forced to put his hands on the floor and lie down. Dan opened fire on the men as they left the store, investigators said.
The man who was shot died out in front of the convenience store, officials said. His name was not released.
Police said they found a stack of cash and a handgun near the body. . . .
