BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) - No charges will be filed against a party store clerk who shot to death a man who was robbing him in December, prosecutors ruled Friday.

After reviewing the case, Calhoun County Prosecutor David Gilbert ruled the clerk acted in self-defense.

Surveillance video shows the short but deadly interaction between a man trying to rob a party store and the clerk who shot him to death.

On Dec. 3, Pardeep Singh was working behind the counter at the Liberty Mart Convenience Store at 439 Capital NE in Battle Creek when Michael Honyoust walked into the store.

Honyoust showed a knife and demanded money, then tried to climb behind the counter. Singh grabbed his gun and shot Honyoust in the head.

Honyoust, 28, died on Dec. 19 from his wounds.
