One suspect in an attempted armed robbery in East Hartford is dead after a clerk who was shot during the ordeal shot back, according to police.
Police said two people wearing black ski masks went into Humble & Paid Co. at 1285 Main St. just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday, intending to rob the business.
The store clerk struggled with one of the suspects, who pulled out a firearm and the suspect shot the clerk in the back, police said.
The store clerk returned fire with two of his legally registered firearms, striking one of the suspects several times, according to police.
Officers who responded treated the suspect until the East Hartford Fire Department arrived and the suspect was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The store clerk was also treated at the scene for a gunshot wound to the lower back and was transported to the hospital. His injuries are not life-threatening, police said.

“Legally registered......”. Grrrrrrrr! But, CT, so..... WTH happened to the NE states? (maybe exclude VT?)
“Police said two people wearing black ski masks” almost certainly means “two black people wearing black ski masks”.
East Hartford gets the overflow “civilization” from Hartford.
1 down too many more to go.
Yes gang bangers are slowly finding it was their last job.
Don’t forget ME and NH. All 3 constitutional carry.
Dual wielding! I’d like to see the video.
Good. The creep is dead. This is what the left, including angry AG Tong, wants to prevent. They want the “oppressed” underclass to waltz right in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”
Sounds like he went away humble, but not paid.
Thanks for the reminder. 😎👍
I’d say the perp got what was rightfully his.
Yep. Tong must be pissed that his precious anti 2a-laws didn’t work. Better pass some more laws for law abiding gun owners.
They should charge the surviving robber with Felony Murder.
“with two of his ‘legally registered’ firearms”
That seems to be important to the reporter.
