Wichita's 36th homicide of the year will likely be the city's first justifiable homicide of 2007.

A store clerk shot and killed a robber who was holding up a north Wichita business Saturday morning. Police say the man walked into Salyer Pharmacy near 21st and Broadway and explained to a female employee that he was going to rob her.

But the female employee was not alone. Three other employees were also inside the store. One of the male workers grabbed a gun and shot the robber once in the head. Police are not saying whether they know if the robber had a weapon.

Police Captain Randy Landen says all four employees were taken to police headquarters for questioning. The robber was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

None of the employees were arrested. Landen says the case will be presented to District Attorney Nola Foulston's office on Monday. The DA will decide whether or not any charges will be filed in the case.

The name and age of the victim has not been released.
