[h=1]Brothers killed by clerk during robbery[/h]GATES COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) - The Gates County Sheriff's Office has confirmed the identities of two suspects involved in a store shooting.
Officials say brothers Quinten Felton and Eddie Felton were shot and killed after an attempted robbery at Joppa Road Store located at the intersection of Acorn Hill Road and Hinton Road in North Carolina around 6 p.m. Tuesday.
During the robbery, Sheriff Edward Webb with the Gates County Sheriff’s Office, says the store clerk was knocked to the ground, kicked in the back of the head, stomped on and kicked in the back of the ribs.
Webb says the store's owner, Duanne Ammann, legally owned the gun used in the shooting, and that most owners of privately owned stores in the county have a gun for protection.
An ongoing investigation reveals that Quinten beat the clerk while he was on the ground. Webb says the clerk had a pistol under a shelf and fired one shot at random over his shoulder while Quinten was beating him, striking Eddie the the stomach. Then, Webb says the clerk stood up, grabbed the barrel of the rifle that was pointed in his face by Eddie and fired several shots through the window as Eddie ran out the door.
"He was looking down that barrel. He literally grabbed the barrel of that gun and had to pull it off of his face. He hand was torn when the gentleman snatched the weapon back out of his hand. And he's sitting there being beat down on the floor, being beat and stomped and he did what he had to do at that particular time," explained Sheriff Webb.
Quinten was shot in the stomach and was found dead by the nearby woods. Eddie was found dead by the store.
