Clerk shot patron who refused to wear mask then killed self

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police in Las Vegas say a convenience store clerk killed himself earlier this month just minutes after he shot a customer who refused to wear a mask and walked out without paying for three bags of chips. A police report says the clerk would have faced criminal charges if he had survived. The Feb. 6 shootings in northwest Las Vegas came four days before Gov. Steve Sisolak lifted Nevada’s COVID-19 mask mandate. The cashier at the Terrible’s gas station/store was pronounced dead at the scene. The customer’s ex-girlfriend took him to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder and later released.
