LAS VEGAS (AP) -- 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. --- Information from: Las Vegas Review-Journal, http://www.lvrj.com
