Customer Saves The Day

At a 7-Eleven outside of Seattle on Sunday, a Washington man came into the store swinging a hatchet around threatening the customers, then made his way to the clerk. At that point, he had badly injured the clerk causing minor injuries to the abdomen. Just a few seconds later, a customer inside the gas station fired a pistol at the suspect, which killed him instantly. They have not released his name yet, but officials described him as a 60 year old man who gets coffee from there every morning and is from Seattle. Another detail they released was that he would most likely not get a charge because he was carrying a concealed carry permit and it would be considered self defense. According to http://www.foxnews.com, King's County Sheriff's Sergeant Cindi West stated, "This could have been a lot worse, the clerk could be the one laying there on the floor dead right now." Police have still not figured out the reason for the attack and have not yet identified the attacker himself, but they estimated he looks to be in this 40's. -Aeriel Corvin
