A customer with a gun carried under a concealed carry permit shot and killed a masked man attacking people with a hatchet at a Washington state convenience store on Sunday.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 7-Eleven on 8th Avenue South in White Center around 5:45 a.m. after the situation had played out.

The clerk manning the store said the masked attacker entered and started swinging a hatchet towards a customer before turning his sights on the clerk.

We believe had this Good Samaritan not acted, we might have a dead clerk on our hands right now.
Sergeant Cindi West, King County Sheriff
