KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An 18-year-old man was killed Tuesday night in a shooting at a convenience store at 26th Street and Van Brunt Boulevard, police said.

The shooting happened at a 7-Eleven at about 10:30 p.m.

Police said a man was robbing the store at gunpoint when one of the two clerks pulled out his own gun and shot him in the neck.

Officers found Vincent Williams, of Kansas City, dead behind the counter of the store.

They said the clerk is a concealed weapons permit holder.

Good. The clerk will most certainly get fired.

Yes, good! This is exactly what leftists like Obama DON’T want us to be able to do.
Every human has the right and the obligation to defend him/herself and family and friends against an agressor. This right is inherent in our nature and can NOT be taken away by any law.

At least one clerk should be armed at every convenience store.
