SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX/Gray News) - Police in Vermont say a gas station clerk is facing charges after shooting at two juveniles involved in a robbery at the convenience store.
South Burlington police say Domonic Ali-Koarti, 34, was behind the counter at a Shell gas station on Williston Road last week when two juveniles robbed the store at gunpoint.
Investigators said Ali-Koarti told officers he handed over the cash to the suspects and followed them outside. He then saw two muzzle flashes and believed the robbers were shooting at him, so he pulled out his gun and fired several shots at them.
The juveniles told police they were trying to get away from the scene.
Authorities said Ali-Koarti is now facing charges of aggravated assault in the incident.
The juvenile suspects have been cited for assault and robbery.
