Y'all be safe out there, there are too many scumbags out there.
Interesting photo caption in the linked article - the Bee considers the robber a shooting victim.
Oh well, this is California.

The man returned in the early afternoon hours ...
Moments later, a man with a black mask over his head stumbled out of the store and collapsed in the sidewalk.
Maybe it's just sloppy reporting, but wouldn't it be a little difficult to recognize the robber as a customer from earlier in the day when it's reported that he had on a mask?
Anyway, good shooting!
Follow your neighbor's example. Learn how to protect yourself. Sounds like a rightous head shot to me.
Based on the report, I cannot see any basis for charges.
1) In Kalifornia, a buisness owner is allowed to have a concealed weapon.
2) The man used deadly force to defend himself in a situation were he had an honest and reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of death.
Clerks kill two would-be robbers at KC convenience store By JOHN SHULTZ Two store clerks in an east Kansas City convenience store turned the tables on a pair of armed robbers, shooting and killing both masked men Monday night, police said. The robbers -- both armed with guns -- burst into the store about 7:45 p.m., police Sgt. Tony Sanders said. One of them jumped over the counter of Robert's Super Market in the 4500 block of Truman Road. A clerk shot that man, who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The second robber began struggling with a second clerk. During the scuffle, that robber also was shot, apparently by the first clerk. The wounded man made it out of the store and fled. He later turned up at a hospital, where he died of his wounds. Police were investigating whether the man drove himself to the hospital or whether a third person was involved. Neither clerk was injured, and neither of the robbers was identified Monday night. Police separated the two clerks and took them in for questioning, Sanders said. Though the investigation was in its early stages Monday night, the circumstances suggested self-defense, Sanders said.
