https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/01/store-employee-held-without-bond-after-shooting-alleged-robber/amp/?__twitter_impression=trueI saw this mentioned. Looks pretty cut and dried on the surface, but there are some complications.
Around 4:30 a.m. three individuals allegedly broke in while wearing masks. The store owner said, “The neighbor upstairs said when they broke the window it sounded like a car smashing into the store. The employee said it sounded like a shotgun.”
Abushariah grabbed a gun and fired, wounding one of the suspects and causing the other two to flee.
Arlington County Police charged Abushariah for “malicious wounding, reckless handling of a firearm, and violation of a protective order” and he is being held without bail.
The article doesn't mention what the "protective order" was about.

https://www.arlnow.com/2020/03/29/police-store-employee-charged-after-shooting-would-be-thief/At approximately 4:53 a.m., police were dispatched to the report of trouble unknown in the 2400 block of Shirlington Road. The preliminary investigation indicates that three subjects forced entry into a business and began stealing cash and merchandise. An employee inside a secure back room heard the break in, retrieved a firearm, opened the door to the sales floor and discharged the weapon, striking one juvenile subject. The employee retreated to the back room but reentered the sales floor and discharged his weapon again as the subjects were attempting to flee the business.
The last part makes me wonder if it appeared the bad guy was hit while running away.
