VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A robbery suspect is in critical condition after he was shot by a 7-Eleven clerk Saturday, a source tells 10 On Your Side.
Virginia Beach police say Davin McClenney robbed the 7-Eleven in the 300 block of Kellam Road. Officers were called to a reported robbery at the convenience store at 1:06 a.m. Saturday.
Police say when they got on scene, they found McClenney with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
McClenney has been charged with two counts of robbery and wearing a mask in public. 10 On Your Side dug into his criminal history and found he has been arrested three other times for robberies. He pleaded guilty in 2006 to two counts of robbery.
McClenney was also charged after a home invasion on East Bay Shore Drive in July 2016. He spent several months in jail and then in December, he was allowed to bond out.
The Commonwealth Attorney’s office tells 10 On Your Side they argued against McClenney bonding out, but the judge still granted it.
McClenney was scheduled to go to trial on the charges in August.
WAVY News reached out to 7-Eleven management, who said they could not comment on the case.

I will e-mail the reporter asking why the judge wasn't named. That judge needs lights,cameras and microphones shoved in their face asking why they put the public at risk.
Good shooting
Everyone did their job but the sorry ass judge who needs to be removed from the bench.
He was charged with a crime, he has the right to bail waiting trial.
That judge needs to be removed from office and face charges of gross criminal negligence.
Add the judges who blocked the president’s travel ban.
Shove them into the spotlight.
—Bastards !
and the clerk will be unemployed in 3 2 1 ...
The judge should have been laying on the floor alongside the robber.
It’s a shame the store clerk will have to wait until the Perl dies before he can go to his awards ceremony and get his medal, (sarc)
He was charged with a crime, he has the right to bail waiting trial.
...
I think it’s a right to a bail hearing, not bail.
Armed robber who keeps attcking society, yep, catch and release until someone is killed. Poor judging skills if you ask me.
In this case it was the robber who is knocking on death’s door, with any luck the thug dies from complcations,
If he dies, the judge did society a favor, completely unintentional though.
“McClenney was scheduled to go to trial on the charges in August.”
Now he’s been “rescheduled” for a pine box, coupled with his long-awaited meeting with Satan. This is probably the first of three or four postings of this type today, if it’s a “normal” Tuesday in “The Hood.”
Considering his lengthy rap sheet, and the violent nature of his crimes, the judge could have denied bail or set it so high that no bondsman would have provided the bail money.
If the perp dies, I say good job. If the perp doesn’t die, I say pretty good job.

“If he dies, did the judge do him a favor?”
NO, but he did local businesses a favor!
Agreed. If you live through involvement in a “home invasion” of any sort you need to be locked up for good.
The look of hate in his eyes this won’t be his last hold up.
You are right, however, in non capitol offenses the 8th amendment states “no excessive bail”. Home invasion is not a capitol offense and it had been ten years since his previous arrest. There would be no room in jail if we held everyone before trial.
