He apparently thought having a gun made him the most dangerous person in the encounter. MPD: Store clerk shoots suspect during attempted robbery | News | Fox13 Memphis
According to the Memphis Police Department (MPD), it happened around 10 a.m. at the Quick Check Store on Alcy Road near Perry Road. Video released shows a man in a white hoodie start to pull out a gun when he jerks back and runs away.
The afternoon of the incident, the police had still not located the would-be robber.
Under Tennessee's Stand Your Ground Law, the clerk was within their rights to shoot. It says any person is justified in using force if they reasonably believe there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. Pulling out that gun would enforce that "reasonable" belief.
Self-defense is a human right.
