We'll get more details later, I'm sure ... but it sounds like an employee of the Discount Mart in Seat Pleasant busted a shoplifter, got into an altercation, which got physical, and the employee defended himself. Alleged perp dead.
The Seat Pleasant police chief says, "The store employee was armed with a firearm and was legally able to possess a firearm."
Interestingly, FOX5 refers to it as a customer having been shot. I'm not sure that shoplifters are, technically, customers. Yeah, yeah, allegedly shoplifting, etc.

Google's street view of the area makes being "legally able to possess a firearm" seem like a really good idea.
