Member Center:
(EVANSVILLE, Ind., November 10th, 2003, 10:30 a.m.) -- An Evansville liquor store clerk is recovering from injuries she suffered while fatally shooting a robber.
Police said 31-year-old Charles Dale walked into a Kwik Stop Liquor store Friday in Evansville and began beating the clerk, demanding money from the register.
The clerk fired a gun she was carrying, hitting Dale at least twice.
Police did not release the name of the clerk, a woman in her 60s.
Dale fled from the store with cash and two bottles of liquor. He was later found in an alley with the stolen cash and bottles spread out around him. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
The clerk was treated for bruises and gunshot wounds. Police said she may have accidentally shot herself while trying to fend off the attacker.
Investigators plan to submit the case to Vanderburgh County prosecutors for review.
