A masked man who attempted to rob a Las Vegas Dairy Queen with a samurai sword was shot in the chest and killed by the restaurant employee. The incident reportedly occurred at around 12:19 p.m. on Sunday. The clerk fired a total of two rounds from his handgun at the would-be robber, according to police.
The suspect, whose identity has not been released yet, was transported to Sunrise Hospital where he was pronounced dead, KLAS reports. Metro Police Lt. Les Lane tells the Las Vegas-Journal the sword was at least three-feet long.
Authorities say the shooting appears to have been in self-defense but that detectives were investigating whether the gun used was properly registered. No charges have been filed against the clerk at this time.
