According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the suspect approached the stand and began demanding money.

They say an employee went to grab cash and placed it on the counter. The suspect placed the gun down and tried to pick up the cash. That's when deputies say the employee picked up the gun and shot him in the face.

The suspect, who has not been identified, was taken to the hospital.

It's unclear if he's expected to survive.

That uh.

I guess I need to see if the robber started fighting back but if the guy wasn't attacking anymore shooting him in the face seems a bit overkill. >_>

It sounds like it happened very quickly. Suspect set the gun down, cashier picks it up and shoots him

That is a shame. Can't blame the cashier for shooting the person. Cashier was probably in panic mode.

Crazy that he would put the gun down.

It's like he didn't realize the gun was the only reason he had control over the situation.

That's what happens when people take their cues from movies. If this hadn't happened, he would've died hiding from behind a couch during a shootout.

Fair next. Armed robbery and the guy may have been a psycho who would have killed the clerk anyway. Or possibly not, but you never know if it's a life or death situation.

Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'

A death that occurs during commission of the felony, is legally the responsibility of the perpetrator.

So... if he pulls through, don't be surprised if he's charged with attempted murder of himself.

Death wouldnt be his punishment, it would be the consequence of his actions. Punishment is decided by the courts.

Armed robbery is an entirely different beast.
Don't threaten someone with impending death, unless you're willing to accept the consequences (namely, impending death) of self-defense.

This. Robbery doesn't deserve death but when you bring a weapon into the mix you forfeit your right to live at that moment. You pull a knife or a gun on me you bet your ass I'll try to end your life if the opportunity arrives.

Hell yeah bro. Selfish asshole criminals who prey on the innocent and threaten to attack and harm or kill deserve absolutely no mercy.

@Frank Woah, it's not just robbery, it was armed robbery with deadly weapon and attempted murder. I'll celebrate this brave clerk permanently taking a dangerous criminal off the street all I want.

Yeah. The criminal may be a human just like any of us and deserves fair, just medical and legal treatment, but he deserves no additional empathy for falling victim to his own stupidity during the heinous crime he was commiting, even if he is a teenager.
