An employee at a South Side convenience store shot and killed one of two men trying to rob the store Monday and was himself wounded in the brief shootout, police said.
Two men walked into the Grand Market, in the 6200 block of South Sixth Avenue, sometime before 5:30 p.m., said Sgt. Mark Robinson, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
They shot at an employee, a man in his early 50s, who fired back, Robinson said.
The employee shot one of the would-be-robbers, an 18-year-old, who ran outside into the parking lot where he collapsed and died. The other robber ran away, and police are still looking for him, Robinson said.
The employee was also shot. He was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Robinson said.
Witnesses described the missing suspect as in his mid-20s to early 30s. He was wearing a black-and-white football jersey and a red bandanna, Robinson said.
Margarita Grajeda lives in the area and drops into the Grand Market from time to time.
Grajeda wasn't surprised that someone could get shot trying to rob the market. She said the store had been robbed before, and it was only a matter of time before someone at the store was forced to shoot.
"I knew somebody was going to get shot someday," she said.
As for the store owners, she said she hoped they were all right.
That is because the 18 y.o. was the robber, was not carrying openly for lawful purposesand now he is dead. He picked the wrong shopkeeper to rob and the shopkeeper saved the taxpayers all the costs of his future crime.I guess the 18 year old was OC'ing, since he isn't allowed to CC.
Funny the article didn't mention this.:banghead:
good the employee didnt get serious injuries but still sucks he got shot.
18 and dead... sad. im 18 struggling with money, bills, life, etc but im not out robbing people so i cant say im very sympathetic but still 18 is a very young age to die at. but better him dead then an innocent
This poor man is probably going to have legal bills out the wazoo now

And if they sue in a federal court?
