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.

Is this the guy that chased him out the door and shot?
Glad to see he didn't get charged.

Re: No charges against clerk who shot robber.
Yeah, the original story said the clerk chased the guy outside and shot him again...after shooting him inside. Whether that's how it went down or not for sure, I haven't heard.

I may have to visit that store sometime and drop off a box of ammo.

Wonderful news!!
Appears 7-11 hasn't fired him yet, hopefully that'll stay the same.

Re: No charges against clerk who shot robber.
Definitely. I was really worried about his job.
Thank you, HiredGood for the follow up. +5
I am very surprised though. I must say that chasing a guy out of the store (supposedly) didn't bode well for self-defense. I am glad that the DA can see that when someone's life is threatened, there's no telling what they will do. The anti's would like to think they'd be very calm, cool and collected in the heat of the moment IF they were ever robbed, threatened or otherwise but the fact of the matter is you never know until it happens. I could very well go into shock, black-out and take my pants off. I have no idea. I hope never to find out, either."Because I'm an American." - MtnJack

Re: No charges against clerk who shot robber.
It's refreshing to see the system still works correctly from time to time.
No signature required.

great find, glad to see it turned out for the better
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose.
