Armed Citizen Extra
A man who attempted to assault a liquor store clerk with a samurai sword was met with stiffer resistance than expected one Thursday afternoon. When the man charged into the store armed with his Shogun-era sidearm, he swung it around thrice at close range before the clerk was forced to retaliate with a slightly more modern sidearm, fatally shooting his assailant.
