A clerk who used to serve in the military fatally shot one of two armed robbery suspects who had entered a Bay Point convenience store, pistol-whipped him, and stole money from the register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Kasprowicz, who served in the USAF in the 1980s, was working at Kam\u2019s Market when two suspects entered the store and demanded the contents of the register, with one bandit flanking around the back of the store and holding the manager at gunpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video of the robbery shows one of the suspects jump over the counter, and pistol whip Kasprowicz, forcing him to the ground. While that suspect emptied the register, the other assailant went to the back of the store and held the manager up at gunpoint.

As the first robber empties the register, Kasprowicz can be seen reaching for a side drawer next to the register, where he pulls out a handgun. As he does, the masked gunman behind the counter strikes the cashier again before sprinting out of the store, his accomplice in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the encounter, Kasprowicz fired a single shot that hit one of the suspects.

\u201cI got hit three times,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cI fired one shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamal Sandhu, who owns the store, said that the armed attacker left Kasprowicz with no choice but to protect himself, The Mercury News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was kind of a last-chance thing, like a him-or-me thing,\u201d Sandhu explained. \u201cI think the suspect got scared and he yelled to the other guy, \u2018He\u2019s got a gun.\u2019 When they tried to run, Kasprowicz shot. He didn\u2019t miss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kasprowicz was taken to the hospital after the incident, where doctors needed 12 staples to close the wound on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInstinct just kicked in,\u201d explained 56-year-old Mark Kasprowicz, adding that he served in the Air Force in the 1980s. \u201cFear and adrenaline kicked in together. I\u2019m lucky to be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kasprowicz\u2019s family is on edge, but just glad he survived and that his coworker is unharmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
