An attempted armed robbery at a corner store in Michigan City, Indiana, ended when the clerk shot the suspect during a struggle. Police say the suspect entered the store late August 6, 2025, and brandished a handgun, demanding cash. The clerk, who was legally armed, responded quickly and fired one round after the suspect threatened to shoot. The suspect was struck and is currently hospitalized in stable condition. No charges are expected against the clerk, who cooperated with investigators and held a valid concealed carry permit. Local law enforcement praised the clerks calm response under pressure. The incident is the third reported defensive gun use in the county this month. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage, and additional charges may be filed against the suspect, who has a criminal history including previous robbery convictions.
