I think the store clerk had a green-light for a shot. He stayed cool & avoided violence but he would have been fully cleared by most jury members & sworn LE investigators.
Im not being harsh or critical but I would have aimed center mass & fired.

My good friend & co-worker, a retired US Army MP Sgt and federal LE officer(US Dept of Veterans Affairs) had a early morning house breaker try and get to his house's second floor. My friend held the intoxicated male at gun-point(Colt .38spl snub) and waited for the local PD.
Nearly the entire VA police staff(80% of which were US military law enforcement: SPs, MPs, CIDC, MAAs, etc) told him he could have shot the subject. He said he decided not to because his young kids were there, which is a valid reason, .
If you check online there are 2/two good examples of security guards/retired LE officers using lethal force in central FL.
One is a uniformed guard who repels a armed robbery in a gaming parlor, the other is a retired cop who fires on a armed thug who holds up a drug store.
Im not net savvy but another forum member may find them to post.
