From the story:
Bedford Heights -- A store owner shot a robbery suspect in the head at 7:15 p.m. Thursday at the Northfield Food Mart, on Northfield Road, police said.
The robber later identified as Roddy Prophet, 27, of Maple Heights, walked into the store and demanded money, according to witnesses. A clerk ran from the store and the owner retreated toward the door as the robber grabbed the money.
Police said when Prophet started toward the door the owner shot twice striking him once in the head. Prophet ran from the store and collapsed in a parking lot two blocks away.
He was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition.
Police said the owner has a concealed carry permit.
The city prosecutor will determine if any charges will be filed in the case. (emphasis added)
