I know you have to excerpt it, but could you at least put in the part of what he actually did?

Plotted armed robbery, and then claims to have decided to go with an “unarmed robbery” instead with one of the people with whom he was plotting. The stick up men didn’t get the memo, however, and brought a gun and killed a clerk.

Here's the Wikipedia summary of the crime - the MSNBC/Washington Post article doesn't have some of the details, perhaps to give a more sympathetic tone to the article:

Shortly after 6 a.m. on January 2, 1996, Wood and Daniel Earl Reneau parked outside a Texaco station in Kerrville, TX. [5] While Wood waited outside, Reneau entered the station and pointed a .22 caliber handgun at clerk Kris Keeran. When Keeran did not respond to Reneau's requests, Reneau shot the clerk, killing him almost instantly.

Hearing the gunshot, Wood entered the gas station and found the clerk on the floor behind the counter. Wood then ran to the back, where he removed the surveillance video and the murder weapon, while Reneau carried the store's safe and cash box. They both then fled from the scene. The value of cash and checks was estimated to be $11,350.
