Police said that the assailant, an unidentified 36-year-old man, entered the Lavender Food Mart intoxicated.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office will investigate the shooting.

Criminal charges against the clerk have not been filed as of Thursday.

The shooting appears to be one in a string of self-defense instances in which small business owners and employees had to use force to defend themselves against criminal assailants and thieves.

A man charged with aggravated robbery was shot by a clerk in Beaumont, Texas, after allegedly pulling a knife on the woman last month.
