An investigation has been initiated after a Metro-East pawn shop owner shot at two robbers, killing one.

Police said the robbery and shooting happened Saturday morning at the Pawn Pros pawn shop at the corner of 12th and State streets in East St. Louis, Illinois.

Detectives said two men with a gun walked into the shop and demanded money and jewelry.

A source told News 4 that the deceased suspect used to be an employee at the pawn shop.

The case will be presented to prosecutors, but police do not expect charges to be filed against the pawn shop owner since he was protecting his life and property from the armed robbers.
