A pharmacist who shot and killed a robber last month has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
On Wednesday morning, District Attorney Nola Foulston's office released a report detailing what happened. To see the entire report, click on the Salyer document above.
Investigators say Alexander Mies pulled a gun on a worker at Salyer Pharmacy at 21st and Broadway on Saturday, August 25. Mies entered the store 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 a pharmacist.
Another pharmacist, Tom Lundberg, reached for a shotgun behind the counter. Police say he ordered Mies to drop the gun, but when Mies didn't, Lundberg fired once, hitting the robber in the head.
No customers were inside at the time - just three employees. A delivery worker arrived in the middle of the holdup.
Investigators ruled the shooting as a simple case of self-defense.
