A Missouri customer at a convenience store in St Charles shot and killed a man suspected of being responsible for a string of armed robberies across the city.

The 43-year-old clerk reportedly suffered lacerations to her left wrist, right hand and neck from the suspected robber’s knife and she was transported to an area hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
At approximately 3.14am, just a few minutes after the first call had been placed and while officers were on their way to the scene of the crime, police received a call about an alarm going off up the street at the Mid-Town Phillips 66 – located just one mile away from the first crime....
