Store Owner Shoots, Kills Robber
No Charges Filed Against Store Owner
A man was shot to death during a robbery at a tire store on Tuesday night. Police said the shooting doesn't appear to be murder, but rather self-defense.
Police said Arfan Midani, the owner of A&A Tires, was working Tuesday night when an armed man approached him and demanded money, NBC 4's David Wayne reported.
The two men struggled and Midani gained control of the gun and shot the man twice in the stomach and once in the leg, police said.
Anthony Lewis was taken to Grant Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
No charges were filed against Midani.
"Everyone has the right to defend themselves if they feel they are in a situation where that type of action is required," said Columbus police Sgt. Christ Holzhauser.
