Staying in Las Vegas, Forever

(Las Vegas, Nevada) No charges will be filed against a store clerk who shot and killed an armed robber yesterday. Based upon recent incidents, Las Vegas oddsmakers are likely handicapping armed robbery as a long-shot proposition.

An employee shot and injured an armed intruder at a smoke shop near Washington and Lamb last month. Two weeks later, the owners of a jewelry store at Charleston and Mohave wrestled the gun away from a would-be robber and shot and killed him during the scuffle.

On Sunday morning, North Las Vegas Police say a convenience store clerk threatened at gunpoint pulled out his own gun and shot the armed suspect killing him.

"This has been more common here recently that our store owners are not laying down to be victims, they're taking steps to protect themselves and other patrons in the store," said Sean Walker, North Las Vegas Police Department.

Consequently, on all over-and-under wagers for armed robbers, go with the "under." Chances are that an armed robber in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas.

Heh.
