North Carolina Self-Defense: W. Asheville store customer shoots alleged robber :: 05/17/2017
ASHEVILLE - A customer at an Old Haywood Road convenience store shot a would-be robber Friday night, the owner of the M&J Food Store said.
Police wouldn't comment Sunday or Monday on the owner's version of events but said they found a person near the West Asheville store with a gunshot wound. Officers said they plan to serve arrest warrants on a juvenile who is now in Mission Hospital.
On Friday, two people came into the convenience store around 9:45 p.m., one brandishing a gun, another a Taser, owner Jamal Hamden said.
At that point a customer shot one of the pair, Hamden said. Both fled without taking any money.
The police incident report lists four other people besides the owner at the scene. One is listed as a victim and three as witnesses.
