From Phenix City, Alabama<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A Phenix City store clerk is feeling uneasy after he says he was forced to shoot a robbery suspect who first held him at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

The incident happened Monday night at the Lucky Food Store on 10th Avenue near Pine Hill Baptist Church.<\/p>\n

“He was injured pretty badly. He got shot three times,” said the store clerk, who does not want to be identified. \u201cHe put a pistol to my back and asked for the money. I gave him the money. He wanted money out of the next register which I told him I could not open.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clerk said he was busy stocking the cooler when the robber came in just before 11 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made me get down on the floor on my knees and he put a pistol to my head,\u201d the clerk said. He turned around to grab some cigarettes and that\u2019s when I seen the chance to actually grab my pistol and I shot him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clerks said he feared for his life and he shot the suspect three times in the abdomen with a 45-caliber handgun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pray that he makes it and that he\u2019s ok,\u201d the clerk said.<\/p>\n

The convenience store is a popular place along 10th Avenue but the clerk said he did not recognize the robber.<\/p>\n

After the terrifying ordeal, the clerk said he and his supervisor stayed with the suspect and even prayed over him as they waited for help to arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me, please don\u2019t let him die,\u201d mentioned the clerk. \u201cI hate that it happened but at that point, I feared for my life. So, I didn\u2019t know nothing else to do.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Quincy, Illinois<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old killed during a reported Memorial Day home invasion in Burton was warned multiple times by the homeowner before he was shot, police reports reveal.<\/p>\n

Multiple witnesses told investigators that the homeowner repeatedly issued warnings to Logan M. Graham of Camp Point before opening fire with a 12-gauge shotgun.<\/p>\n

The reports were obtained by The Herald-Whig through a Freedom of Information Act request to the Adams County state’s attorney’s office.<\/p>\n

The homeowner provided a three-sentence statement to investigators through his attorney, Don Schuering, in which he said Graham entered his home “in a violent, riotous and tumultuous manner by breaking though the glass in my front door.”<\/p>\n

“Earlier, he threatened to kill me,” the statement read. “When he entered my home I feared he was going to kill me or one of my family members, I feared that his action was imminent, and I believed there was only one way to protect me and my family.”<\/p>\n

Adams County State’s Attorney Gary Farha said last week that no charges would be filed in the May 28 fatal shooting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
