FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – An attempted robbery at a Fort Worth grocery store ended in one of the alleged robbers shot to death by the owner.

Police say three men walked into the store with a shotgun. One suspect demanded money. The second one had the shotgun and the third was standing next to the man with the weapon.

Police say the store owner gave his wallet to the first suspect then pulled out a gun and shot the suspect holding a gun. He died at the scene.

The two who were not hit ran off.

So one robber is holding a shotgun on the owner, the owner hands over his wallet, THEN pulls his gun and shoots the robber. That takes a great deal of courage, and situational self-awareness that many people would not have.

But considering we have had two murders of store clerks in the DFW area, one the mother of two:

And the other one where the clerk of a Subway store gave them the money, and then got killed,

Taking a chance of responding with deadly force might be best choice.
