An Alameda store clerk was arrested on suspicion of murder for allegedly shooting a suspected thief without legal cause, police said Monday.
It happened at a Circle K store at Webster Street and Buena Vista Avenue at about 11:45 p.m. Saturday.
"The customer went behind the counter and started to remove items," said Alameda police Lt. Ryan DeRespini.
In response, police say the clerk pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and shot him in the head.
"And that point it appeared to be simply an attempt to steal merchandise from the store," DeRespini said. "At that point, he was accosted by the store clerk and almost immediately shot and killed where he was."
