Sword Vs. Gun At Las Vegas Dairy Queen

[TheMorningStar]

A masked man wielding a sword tried to rob a central valley Dairy Queen on Sunday afternoon but was shot and killed by an employee, Las Vegas police said.
Homicide Lt. Ray Steiber said that although rare, robbery attempts with swords have occurred in the Las Vegas Valley.
"I've seen it before," Steiber said. "It's a deadly weapon in the right hands, and preliminarily, it appears he was using it as a deadly weapon."
The identity of the deceased man will be released by the Clark County coroner's office.
The incident occurred about 12:15 p.m. When police arrived, the suspect was injured on the ground just outside the doors of the restaurant at 2595 S. Maryland Parkway, near Sahara Avenue.
Steiber said the suspect was shot at least twice.
A second police official, Lt. Les Lane, described the sword as "full size" and more than "3 feet."

So I'm guessing they have been robbed before and this employee was obviously not having this shit that day. Sorry dude, gun wins.

I heard the scene where Indiana Jones when he was talking to his son about bringing a knife to a gun fight while reading this story. True, in certain situations melee can have the upper hand - think it's 21 feet a person can move in closer before a weapon is raised to fire - but bullshitting around demanding money, don't think the ijiit saw it coming.

The interesting part is will the employee be arrested because he shot him more than once, was the asshole still a threat when he was shot the second time, as we've seen before the shooter could end up in jail
I see a lawsuit coming against Dairy Queen, not the shooter he doesn't
have enough money to make it worthwhile to the lowlife ambulance chasers
