tailed it off to the right side of the building. so everybody was lucky that night. he was lucky he didn t get shot. i was lucky i didn t have to pull the trigger. alexander immediately calls for help. in hindsight, alexander worries what might have happened had someone else been working that night. i think if it had been somebody else that he would have got what he wanted and the other clerk may have been hurt or may not have been hurt, but i would almost say that he would have been hurt. alexander remains thankful he exercised restraint. i prevented a person from losing his life. crisis averted by a store clerk standing his ground in marionville, missouri, without firing a single shot. three months later in seattle, what looks like another gun-toting robber meets his match when bus passengers throw him to the ground.
