Police have identified the armed robber who was shot and killed by a store employee Saturday morning.
Officers say 27-year-old Alexander Mies entered Salyer's Pharmacy at 10:47am with a bandage over part of his face, exposing just one eye. He asked to pick up a prescription under an alias name. Mies then pulled out a handgun and pointed at the clerk.
Wichita pharmacist Tom Lundberg says he didn't hesitate. He says he fired one round from his shotgun, hitting Mies in the head and killing him.
No customers were inside at the time - just three employees. A delivery worker arrived in the middle of the holdup.
Mies pronounced dead at 11:15 am. Police say the shooting appears to be a simple case of self-defense.
