6 A.M.
North Las Vegas police say a man was shot near Lake Mead and Las Vegas boulevards after he stabbed a 7-Eleven clerk with a sharp object. Police say the man tried to run from the clerk after stabbing him, heading towards a nearby bus stop, but the injured clerk chased the man down and shot him. Officers say the two got into a fight because the man refused to leave the 7-Eleven property. Both men were transported to UMC Trauma with non-life-threatening injuries. Police are still investigating.

The suspect was later identified as 27-year-old Anthony Wright, who was employed by 7-Eleven. Wright was booked on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of stolen property (gun), and destroying/concealing evidence at Las Vegas City Jail.
