Texas Self-Defense: Clerk fatally shoots gunman who tried to pass fake $20 bill and then shot at him: HPD :: 06/30/2020
"We’re thinking that the bullet that the robber or suspect fired was only a few inches away from him," police said.
HOUSTON — A clerk at a north Houston corner store returned fire and killed a robbery suspect late Monday night, police said.
The 56-year-old suspect, whose name has not yet been released, allegedly went into the Super Qwik Food Store and tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. The clerk called out the fake currency, and then the suspect made his way into the clerk’s secured area, police said. Police believe the gunman fired at least one shot, missing the clerk by just inches.
