And as far as I'm concerned (call me for jury duty), when the robber threatened someone's life, his life became open game.This is not the 'Wild West', where you go out on the street and start firing at someone fleeing from you. That course of action is reckless and can endanger the lives of innocent citizens. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way defending the robber, but once the robber fled the store the clerk's course of action should have been to call 911 and provide details to the Police so they could do the job of apprehending the offender.
