Duck N Go Market Clerk Pulls Own Gun, Shoots Armed Robber in Self-Defense

Duck N Go Market Clerk Pulls Own Gun, Shoots Armed Robber in Self-Defense

EUGENE, OR — An attempted robbery at the Duck N Go Market on October 27 ended with the suspect in custody and the store clerk unharmed, thanks to the clerk’s quick and decisive actions. The incident, which occurred around 5:07 p.m., involved a man who entered the market on Commons Drive, brandished a firearm, and demanded money from the store clerk.

According to the Eugene Police Department, the suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Noah Alexander Sky, pointed a gun at the clerk while making his demands. Fearing for his life, the clerk responded by drawing his own firearm and shooting Sky, successfully neutralizing the threat. Immediately following the incident, the clerk called 911, staying on scene until Eugene Police arrived.

When officers arrived, they provided medical aid to Sky, who was then transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. After receiving medical care, Sky was booked into Lane County Jail on charges of Robbery in the Second Degree.

Oregon law permits the use of deadly force in self-defense if a person has a reasonable fear of death or serious physical injury to themselves or others. No further charges are expected against the clerk, whose actions fell within the legal protections afforded by state law.

Carrying at Work: Knowing Policy vs. Protecting Life

This incident highlights the life-saving value of carrying a firearm for personal defense, particularly in high-risk settings like retail. While the store clerk was fortunate to have his firearm on hand, it’s important to remember that many employers have policies prohibiting employees from carrying firearms on the job. Though self-defense is a fundamental right, it’s wise for employees to be familiar with their company’s policies to avoid potential conflicts.

However, as this incident demonstrates, being able to protect oneself can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. For those in positions where workplace policies restrict carrying, weighing the risks and understanding one’s rights and responsibilities under local law can be crucial. After all, many would agree that it’s better to be safe—and even job hunting—than to risk personal safety in a dangerous situation.
