SAN FRANCISCO -- Authorities have released the identity of an armed robbery suspect who was shot and killed by an Air Force veteran at a market in the Bay Area on Sunday.



Deputies have identified the suspect as 31-year-old Michael Andrew of Merced.



In surveillance video, you can see Andrew hit and knock down the clerk, Mark Kasbrowicz, and then go for the cash in the drawer.



Kasbrowicz went down, but he didn't go down for good; he crept back up, got pushed but didn't give up and then grabbed the store's gun.
