East Hartford police are investigating an attempted robbery incident where a store clerk shot and killed one of two suspects, according to police.
The incident began on Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. when two suspects in black ski masks entered the Humble & Paid Co. on Main Street. Police stated that the two suspects had intended to rob the store.
A brief struggle took place when the suspects entered the store, and one pulled out a firearm. During the struggle, the store clerk was shot in the back by this suspect.
The store clerk was able to return fire with one of his two legally registered firearms, according to police. The clerk fired several rounds and struck one of the suspects multiple times.

The clerk was also treated for the gunshot wound to his lower back, and he was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Here's hoping that the clerk makes a speedy recovery with no lasting effects, and that the cops arrest the other suspect. I believe that CT has a felony murder routine, so the other critter can be charged with that.
By the headline, I thought this might have been about a clerk at a gun store who refused to sell a gun to an obviously out of control abuser. Sadly, no. That clerk would have been fired because it really is all about the benjamins.
