A Houston store clerk, who was pistol-whipped after obediently handing over money to an armed robber late last year, shot and killed a robbery suspect Friday morning.

The clerk, who has a concealed-carry permit, was confronted by a masked man in a Family Dollar store, which had been robbed several times in the past. He drew his handgun and shot the robber.

Police told local media that it wasn’t immediately clear if the masked suspect was armed.
