Sounds like he was shot during an armed robbery, by his own gun. Only thing mentioning alcohol was the store type.

That doesn't mean he was shot by his own gun, but only that he had a gun.

I will give you that. I don't know that a confrontation would have been reported if the employee had a weapon, maybe reported as a shootout?

Sounds like a happy ending to me. Steal and threaten a proprietor, be prepared to pay the dues.

This is why clear writing is important.
It could mean: The employee used his own weapon to confront an intruder.
Or: The employee discovered an armed intruder.
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
