Why didn’t the clerk and customer try reasoning with the agitated hatchet wielding attacker? Why didn’t they just wait for the 2nd responder heroes to arrive in 20 minutes to draw the chalk outlines around their bodies? Obama and his lefties hate the man with the carry permit who saved lives. Their warped mindset calls him a gun clinger. Fuck them and their gun confiscation agenda.
Customer shoots masked, hatchet-wielding attacker in Burien 7-Eleven

A customer shot and killed a hatchet-wielding man attacking a clerk at a convenience store in Burien on Sunday morning.
About 5:45 a.m., a masked man about 40 years old walked into a 7-Eleven store near South 110th Street and Eighth Avenue South and swung a hatchet at a customer, said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Cindi West. The man then went behind the counter and attacked the 58-year-old clerk, never saying anything.
Within seconds, a customer pulled out a handgun and shot and killed the attacker, likely saving the clerk’s life, West said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 60-year-old customer buys coffee from the store almost every morning, West said, and he sits and chats with the clerks. He has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, West said.
The clerk who was attacked told a KIRO 7 reporter that he would have been killed had it not been for the customer. The regular customer is a “very nice” guy, the clerk said.
The clerk has a minor injury on his stomach, West said.
The identities of the three people involved were not released.
An investigation is continuing.
