Slashing Prices Backfires At Dairy Queen

Police say a clerk at a Las Vegas Dairy Queen shot and killed a sword-wielding, masked man who tried to rob the restaurant.
Detectives say the suspect was shot twice and was lying just outside the doors when officers arrived around 12:15 p.m. Sunday.
The suspect died at a hospital.
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.
They say only two employees and no customers were present at the time of the shooting.

Don't bring a sword to a gun fight? I guess he thought it would be awesome to brag to his friends how he robbed a store with a sword. Forgot he was in America where even a clerk has a gun.

He should have just ordered a blizzard then looked through help wanted ads.
