Everyone places a different value on the things in their store, but it seems to me that killing a thief for running off with a few brewskies is a bit much. It's a bit much for the State of Texas, too, so he's up on murder charges.
Side note: 12 rounds fired, with an unstated number of hits on the thief. The clerk is responsible for whatever those "misses" eventually hit (Rule 4).
Side note: It's not a Perfect Crime if the accomplice lives to tell the police who killed the dead guy, even if you hid the shell casings, erased the video, and cleaned up the spilled beer.
It wouldn't be politically-incorrect enough, if I failed to mention that beer thievery from this guy's store would probably be reduced, if the clerk hadn't caught a case. Also that the dead guy now has an automatic recidivism rate of 0.
