During an armed robbery in New York City a convenience store clerk was running out of the store when he collided with a member of the NYPD. The officer discharged his gun killing the man.

The three men who robbed the convenience store have been charged with murder in the botched robbery. Surveillance video from inside the store shows the robbers as they make their move, then outdoor surveillance video captures the moment when the man collided with the officer and was shot to death.

New York City officials said there was no reason to believe any of the Police Officers on scene mishandled the situation. 

Police said they found a .32-caliber handgun, which was never loaded, and the robbers’ backpack, which contained $718 in cash, cigarettes and scratch-off lottery tickets.
