CLEVELAND, Ohio — A store clerk shot a suspected robber this morning in the 17800 block of Euclid Avenue.



Police were called at 9:54 a.m. to the Mini Mart at 17801 Euclid, where officers found a man with gunshot wounds to the abdomen, arm and leg, Sgt. Sammy Morris said.

He was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. Police did not release his name.



The man had argued with the clerk, who was in a bullet-proof booth. The man kicked in the door to the booth and went inside. The clerk grabbed a handgun and fired multiple times.

The man was not armed, Morris said.

The clerk, whose name was not released, was arrested on suspicion of felonious assault and having a gun after a felony conviction.

The case will be presented to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office for a determination of charges.
