Store clerk went too far in beer robbery

I disagree with Carolyn Boyle (Thursday letter) when she says the clerk in the convenience store robbery, who was arrested for murder, should have been given a medal. You can’t shoot somebody unless your life is in jeopardy. The clerk ran outside of the store chasing the beer robbers and shooting. This is not legal. Nobody likes robbers, but is it worth taking a life?
