One man is in custody after an attempted robbery at the Venture Corners supermarket in Deerfield Township was repelled Thursday afternoon when a clerk fired shots at the would-be robber.
At Venture Corners, at Faussett and Argentine roads, a white male, in his mid-30s, walked into store saying he needed money, said Livingston County Undersheriff Mike Murphy. The would-be robber pointed a weapon at the clerk, believed to be a starter pistol, which shoots blanks only.
The store clerk pushed it aside and produced his own weapon, and ordered the perpetrator to the floor.
The clerk pushed the silent alarm button, and said, “I don’t want to shoot you,” according to Murphy. That’s when the suspect jumped up and fled out the door.
The clerk fired one shot inside the building as man fled, Murphy said. The clerk then fired two more rounds as the perpetrator fled in a black Grand Prix.
He shot out a rear tire and the rear and side windows of the car. The perpetrator was not hit by the gunfire.
Suspect fled westbound on Faussett Road. He was followed by an unknown individual, Murphy said.
Police stopped the suspect vehicle on Latson Road just north of Faussett.
No money was taken, and there were no injuries in the incident.
