The bad guy is dead because the clerk used a knife. Had the clerk carried a gun and fired a warning shot, maybe nobody would have been dead as a result. If the warning shot failed to stop the threat, then the clerk could have winged the guy, just like an old cowboy movie.

It is VERY hard to get a pistol license in NYC (even after the Supreme Court ruling)
And NYC is crowded. If the "warning shot" hits a bystander, the shooter is in deep trouble. Better to ensure the bullet hits a safe backstop (the thug's torso)
