On August 7, 2025, a Las Vegas convenience store clerk shot an armed suspect attempting to rob the store late at night. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that the suspect entered the store wielding a handgun and demanded cash. The clerk, a licensed concealed carry permit holder, drew his own weapon and fired, striking the suspect in the torso. The suspect was transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive. Police say the clerk is cooperating fully and likely acted in self-defense.
