Customer Quashes Axe-Wielder


^ That's 43-year-old Steve Blacktongue. He went into a Seattle 7-11 store at 5:45 a.m. on Sunday morning and swung an axe at a customer.

Then, he went behind the counter and attacked the 58-year-old clerk with the weapon. He never said a word during the attack.

That's when a 60-year-old customer who buys his coffee and scratchers at the store every day pulled his gun and shot Tongue multiple times.

Police say the customer, who has a concealed carry permit, may have saved the clerk's life. The clerk suffered minor injuries.
Blacktongue died at the scene. He had previous arrests for assault and meth.
