Kwik Stop
DALLAS - A convenience store robbery ended Friday with the clerk pulling out a gun, chasing down the thief and allegedly shooting him dead.
Now, police are looking evidence from the Kwik Stop, located in the 1900 block of Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, down the block to South Harwood Street.
Police say they have not decided whether to charge the clerk in the Kwik Stop shooting. When a man stole the store's cash register and ran out, the clerk followed with a gun and shot.
"It's unknown at this time whether the suspect had a weapon," said Lt. David Pughes, Dallas police. "The suspect was still in possession of the register outside the store."
The investigation has been delayed because the clerk speaks Korean and police need translation services. The suspect died at the scene.
"Yeah, it actually happens quite often," Pughes said of store robberies. "They'll just grab it and take the entire register and run as far as they can until they can get to a point where they can actually break the register apart and get the money out of it."
