Tragedy struck a Home Depot store in the San Francisco Bay Area in April as a 26-year-old employee was fatally shot while confronting an alleged shoplifter who was armed with a handgun, authorities said.

Just a few months before, an Antioch gas station cashier was shot to death during an armed robbery, according to local police.
