Fox: Authorities respond to a 7-Eleven store in White Center, Wash., where a masked ax-wielding attacker was shot and killed by a customer with concealed carry permit (KCPQ)
A customer at a 7-Eleven store outside Seattle shot and killed a masked man who attacked a clerk with an ax early Sunday.
Investigators said the shooting happened at the store in White Center at approximately 5:45 a.m. local time. Witnesses said the man entered the store and swung a hatchet toward the customer before turning his attention to the clerk.
As the assailant attacked, the customer pulled out apistol and fired, hitting the suspect. The clerk suffered minor injuries to his stomach and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
The customer who shot the suspect is described as a 60-year-old Seattle man who visits the store every morning to get coffee. His name was not immediately released.
Authorities said the man who shot the attacker had a concealed carry permit and likely would not face charges as a result of his action.
“This could have been a lot worse,” King County Sheriff’s Sergeant Cindi West told KCPQ. “The clerk could be the one laying there dead on the floor right now.”
Now, just waiting for the idiots who hate guns to offer “expert opinion” of, “Why did he have to KILL the poor guy? Couldn’t he just wound him?”
The Left is so stupid as to give stupidity a bad rep.
In Obozo’s America stupidity qualifies as a disability so it’s encouraged by the left.
‘The motive for the assault was not clear. Investigators said the ax-wielding man remained silent throughout the assault. The assailant’s identity was not immediately revealed, and authorities described him only as a man in his 40s.’
Wondering if this is another Allahu Fubar moment .
Funny you mention the left crying “why did he have to KILL the poor guy? Couldn’t he just wound him?”
I never, ever see the left say of the criminal “Why did he have to kill the clerk, why couldn’t he have just wounded the clerk and taken the money and run?”
Glad to see the hero won’t be charged with a crime.
Poor guy was just going to 7-Eleven for iced-T and Skittles…
Admittedly I would like to chop a clerk when he says two Gatorades are $3 but one costs $1.99.
Yes, you must buy two.
AArrrgghhh!
You say axe I say hatchet, hooray the criminal is dead
Perhaps it was not a robbery at all.
Maybe the dead guy was a mute and was only trying to “axe a question”!!!
[rimshot!]
Well one thing is for sure, he no longer has an ax to grind.
Sounds like White Center to me.
A Mime is a terrible thing to waste…..
Unless it’s a hatchet wielding Mime….f*ck those guys.
No mention of perp’s race or religion so he is black or muzzie, probably both. In which case this will never make the msm anti-gun crusade nightly news.
Aw shucks, my baby was just axing for some money for his college tuition. He always was such a good boy and never done nothin’ wong at home. Now he done gone and got hisself kilt.
Happy ending at the Hindu Hut, praise Vishnu
The left always says “why couldn’t you just wound him” everytime. Except…in the case of Levoy Finicum. The left in Portland were begging the cops to shoot him dead, and when it happened, they all united to defend the cops. Oregon. It’s like living in bizzaro world.
Whenever defending oneself with a firearm it is imperative that your intent be to wound the miscreant.
If you use proper fundamentals and gun control the wounds will prove fatal.
