Detroit gas station clerk charged with manslaughter in triple shooting incident.

TL;DR Summary
A gas station clerk in Detroit has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after locking the doors to prevent a possible shoplifter from leaving, which escalated the situation and led to three customers being shot, one fatally. The clerk, Al-Hassan Aiyash, is being held on $200,000 bond. The incident occurred on May 6, when Samuel McCray became upset that his credit card was declined for an approximately $4 purchase. Aiyash locked three innocent customers in the gas station with an irate McCray for almost eight minutes in an "increasingly hostile environment" as the customers begged, pleaded and screamed to be let out.
