No charges against clerk who shot robber in Ingram
Monday, January 07, 2008
By Milan Simonich, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The 7-Eleven clerk in Ingram who shot and wounded a knife-carrying robber will not be charged with a crime, prosecutors said today.

A review of the case determined that Kaelin Weber, 24, was justified in shooting the robber, Mike Manko, a spokesman for the Allegheny County district attorney, said in a statement.

The robbery suspect, Lawrence V. Davis, 20, of Norristown in Montgomery County, now faces an additional charge of attempted homicide, Mr. Manko said. Allegheny County police already had charged him with robbery and aggravated assault.

Police said Mr. Davis, wearing a mask and carrying a knife, entered the 7-Eleven store in Ingram about 4:30 Christmas morning. Investigators said he leaped over the counter and inflicted cuts on Mr. Weber's right hand and elbow.

Mr. Weber fired several shots at Mr. Davis, causing a number of wounds to his body. Police said none of the injuries was life-threatening.

Mr. Weber continues to work at the store.

Well that is great. I am very happy he was able to protect himself from an armed robber. I am also VERY happy he was able to keep his job. I think the majority of companies would fire him before his empty brass hit the floor. Even if they did, he would still be alive.

The company should be happy he's willing to stay, after that. I for one would not be willing to stay in a $5-8/hr job where some highly motivated loser may well come in and try to rob me for a tray full of grungy small bills and some cigarettes.

If I was close I'd make a trip to shake his and the store owners hand! Any TV people out there? These stories are starting to come in daily where people are protecting themselves legally. We need a show like "COPS" and call it "CC Concealed Carry" showing the masses out there that the Good Guys are winning.
