Colorado Springs, Colo.- A shoplifter shot in the face after stealing a bottle of vodka is suing the shop owner.

The shoplifter is seeking at least $100,000 for pain and suffering.

Bryson Dewberry was shot in the jaw two years ago by Chang Ho Yi.

He's the owner of Austin Bluffs Plaza Liquor in Colorado Springs.

According to a lawsuit filed in early October, Yi witnessed the 2010 theft and pursued Dewberry out of his store with a loaded .357 revolver, which fired as Dewberry was in the backseat of a getaway car.

Dewberry's lawsuit alleges Yi behaved "negligently and recklessly."

Yi was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, but a grand jury declined to charge him.
