Houston police said an armed convenience store clerk not only foiled an attempted robbery, but wound up putting the would-be robber in the hospital. Police said the man was shot in the neck while trying to rob a convenience store at the intersection of Almeda-Genoa and Rowlett. "When I saw the gun I felt like I was going to die. For my safety I had to pull my trigger," said store clerk Kiran Giri. Giri is known in his southeast Houston neighborhood as Alex and said he's worked at the Almeda Discount Food Store for 14 years. In that time, Giri said he's seen crime getting worse.
