IMO the clerk didn't escalate things at all. A bad guy comes in with a gun and demands money. There's nothing to say that after you give to him he isn't going to kill all of the witnesses. That was Tookie Williams' M.O.
If someone threatens you with a gun and you can shoot first, do it. Fortuantely, our night clerk did a good job and didn't hit any friendlies. Note his stance and grip technique. He was trained in how to handle the firearm and did a good job with it.
