Rowland, North Carolina



From the Fayetteville Observer-Times of January 18, 2005
Clerk is not charged in shooting



A convenience store clerk who shot a man to death during a robbery attempt on Friday has not been charged, Rowland Police Chief Daniel Bradsher said.



The incident happened about 6:30 a.m. at the Circle B convenience store on U.S. 301.



Bradsher said clerk Clyde Bobby Carson shot Montrovia Aunte McLeod in the abdomen with a .44-caliber Magnum pistol. McLeod, 27, died at the scene. He lived in Garner.



Bradsher said McLeod entered the store and demanded money. He held Carson in a choke hold with a tire iron and tried to force him into a back room to open a safe.



Carson got free and grabbed the pistol from the office. Bradsher said Carson then shot McLeod.



McLeod drove off in a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix but crashed in the parking lot.
