A clerk on his third day at work at a liquor store in Indianapolis early Sunday morning shot and killed an armed robber waving around a gun.
“He took his eyes off me and that was a bad decision for him,” the former Iraq vet Zachary Rogers told a local TV station.
Kudos to Rogers for applying for decisively to protect innocent life from a man threatening to kill in order to take something that’s not his.
