The customer was taken to a hospital and was later released after receiving treatment. After the shooting, Anderson locked up the store, set the alarm and left.
He later gave a statement to police. He said he was afraid the suspect would kill him and “had no idea” that the suspect was struck by gunfire because he continued to run.
He also said the store had been the target of six armed robberies since August. He said there were four robberies and two attempted robberies.
