Good Guys 2, Bad Guys 0

Clerk at store kills teen armed robber - The Clarion-Ledger Well, two bad guys are still on the run, but even so....
A 17-year-old Jackson resident was killed and a 16-year-old wounded in the armed robbery of a convenience store early Sunday.
...
The two were among four males who entered the Super 7 Gas convenience store at 4564 Bullard St., armed with handguns and shotguns, and tried to rob the business, according to the Jackson Police Department.
The Brady Bunch will call this "two teens tragically shot" because they don't care that the teens in question were committing armed robbery and were shot in lawful self-defense.
According to JPD, the four entered the store, located on the northeast corner of Boling and Bullard streets about 1:15 a.m. Two were carrying pistols, and two were carrying shotguns. There were two clerks and no customers in the store at the time.

There was a struggle between one of the clerks and two of the suspects, according to police, and the clerk was able to wrest the pistol away from one of the robbers. The suspects tried to flee. One of the clerks then fired a large-caliber handgun, hitting [the two robbers.]
The clerk has not been charged.

One was declared dead at the scene. One has been hospitalized. Two are on the run.
