One man in Missouri may be exploring his options after being taken into custody. It was reported that the man worked as a store clerk and was on duty when he allegedly shot a teenager. The teenager was apparently walking toward the store’s exit when he was purportedly shot by the clerk. Reports also claimed that the man yelled something at the teenager before shooting.

The 16-year-old boy reportedly told police that he had put a package of cookies into his pocket before trying to leave the store. It was unclear what the clerk may have said to the boy beforehand. Reports went on to state that the boy was shot in the leg and transported to an area hospital. As a result of the situation, the clerk was charged with assault.
