A suspect is dead after being shot by a convenience store clerk in northeast Houston Tuesday evening.

Houston police responded to reports of a shooting at 8019 Lavender Street around 7:55 p.m.

Houston police said the 36-year-old suspect entered the store intoxicated and went behind the cash register and assaulted the clerk.

Police said the 23-year-old clerk took out a gun and shot the man multiple times.

The suspect was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Speaking at the scene of the incident, one Houston Police officer revealed what investigators had learned.
Video below:

Criminal charges against the clerk have not been filed as of Friday.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office will investigate the shooting and determine if the clerk will face any charges.

The shooting appears to be one in a string of self-defense instances in which small business owners and employees had to use force to defend themselves against criminal assailants and thieves.

Good. We need plenty more of these.
Let these antifa scum and nutjobs learn the hard way that working class people will no longer tolerate their thieving self entitled bs. The only thing that would make this perfect would be if they took him out before he had a chance to reproduce.
