“Three men went into the Chevron at 3828 U.S. 80 at about 1 a.m. Tuesday and stole lottery tickets and cigarettes from behind the counter, according to Mesquite Police Department spokesman Sgt. Joe Smith.
“One of the men was armed and demanded money from the clerk, Smith said. Surveillance video shows the clerk fight with the robber, take his gun and shoot him in the shoulder.
“Police said the robber then took his gun back and hit the clerk in the face with it.
“The three men ran from the store, according to Smith. The robber who was shot collapsed in a nearby field. Police found him when they responded to the gas station, arrested him and transported him to a hospital.
