The shooting happened in the afternoon inside Village Food and Liquor in Milwaukee was caught on surveillance tape.The store was busy at the time the gunfire was exchanged.
Workers say it all started when the suspect tried to steal something. The suspect and clerk started fighting. The clerk grabbed a baseball bat, trying to fend off the suspect. The clerk says the suspect left and came back with a gun and approached the clerk at the counter. That's when the clerk got his gun.
As the suspect left, he started shooting at the clerk. The clerk stuck his arm out a doorway with his gun and started shooting back, firing 12 shots in self defense. According to the clerk, the man was dropped off by a group of people. After the shooting, they left him, and he took off on foot. The suspect is still at large.
One customer was almost caught in the cross fire. Other customers saw the man come in with the gun and quickly ran out of the store. Others appeared to continue to shopping.
The clerk says he wasn't arrested or cited because he was shot in "self defense."
After looking at the surveillance video, it is amazing no one was hurt.

"The video does not show the clerk sticking his arm out the door to the store. It shows the clerk bringing his gun up over the counter as the criminal comes in with a gun in his hand. The clerk only fires when the man raises his weapon. From the video, the clerk is holding his weapon at a slight sideways angle. This is not a good way to hold a firearm even though they show it all the time in the movies. Perhaps the clerk should get some training so that next time he shoots at a bad guy, he'll hit him."
"I find it amazing that the person in the video wearing the green jacket seems to run towards the doorway even as the two shooters are exchanging gunfire through that doorway. Was that person deaf and dumb or on a death wish?"
