ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ala. (WIAT) — St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an investigation after a man was shot and killed during a robbery Sunday morning.
According to SCCSO, Timothy Jones, 44, of Hale County, entered a gas station in Cropwell around 4:30 a.m. with a knife. The suspect was reportedly shot and killed by the store clerk during the robbery.
St. Clair County Criminal Investigation Division is investigating.
He brought a knife to a gun fight.

You gotta know your audience. One should assume that an all night gas station clerks in Alabama are going to be packing.
I’d like (and expect!) a speedy investigation with a “Yeah, don’t try that here” pronunciation from the sheriff.
Sheriff’ll need to wait until Jan 20 to speak out or amazingly the garland doj will magically have the good clerk charged with federal hate crimes charges within a few hours.
👍👍👍👍👍
Better yet, never talk to the cops. I don’t know why people in situations like this feel obligated to talk to the police.
So is this a mug shot of the decedent from a prior arrest, or is this a photo of the store clerk that demonstrated proper FAFO technique?
I can’t seem to locate an identified photo of either the shooter or the shootee...
I would guess the one who was shot. The shooter should not have a photo bandied about for his own protection.
Adding: a nice looking guy.
The robbery suspect was a black male according to an article. This is the clerk then? They should not have posted his photo if that is the case. Puts his life in danger.
Yeah, you never know what Google may give you - sometimes you click on the picture and the article doesn’t show it
But yeah, whomever it is, seems like a nice-looking guy - if that was the robber...then...drugs? Dunno
Not the robber. The robber was black.
Oh, thank you for adding that information to the thread - I guess I will ask for that picture to be removed - thank you again
Hit abuse on yourself, that gets the fastest response.
Cropwell?
He tried that in a small town?
