A Roselawn shop owner won't go to jail for shooting and killing a man who was robbing his store.

Prosecutors said Adrab Ashishi was just defending himself when a man dressed head to toe in black with a mask and a gun confronted him.

Ashishi said he was afraid for his life.

"And he drew a gun and he said stop from right there where the counter is, so I ducked and I went this way I drew my gun and he came out and he was right there with the gun in his hand I shot him in there and we met right here when he came here I shot him like this and he was dead," Ashishi said.

"He legally possessed that gun, he legally used it and it's always a shame when someone dies, but in this case this guy had it coming to him," said Mike Allen, Hamilton County Prosecutor.

David Billups had just been released from prison on an armed robbery conviction.

Allen said now that there's a concealed carry law we may see more store owners defending themselves like this in the future.
