In the given stoppage, said Bad Guy's handgun can be made ready to fire quickly. Hence, the clerk--and presumably, the 3rd-party CCW holder--can reasonably expect that they are in immediate, imminent, and unavoidable risk of death or serious injury.
Shooting at that point is simply a matter of tactics, no different than if the Bad Guy dropped his pistol or became distracted.
