A Lake County grand jury has ruled the shooting of an alleged robber by a grocery store clerk was justified and the clerk will not face any charges. The incident occurred on October 13 when the alleged robber, Brandon Starks, held up People's Market, using a gun. Once Starks fled on a bicycle, according to police, the clerk - who remains unnamed by authorities - followed Starks outside and shot him twice in the torso. Starks, who was on parole for a previous burglary conviciton, was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting.
