Clerk Fatally Shoots Alleged Robber in Arlington: Police

A clerk fatally shot a man trying to rob a convenience store Monday evening, police say.

Police said two clerks were working at the Super Save convenience store on the 2500 block of East Abram Street when a man entered the store at about 8 p.m.,  pulled out a weapon and attempted to rob them.

One of the clerks pulled out a gun and fatally shot the robber.

Investigators reviewed surveillance video recorded at the store and the footage reaffirmed the clerk's account of what took place.

Investigators said a gun was found on the robber and that the clerk is not expected to face any charges, though the case will be referred to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney for further review.

The identity of the 22-year-old man killed at the store will be released after next of kin have been notified.
