LAS VEGAS - A man attempting to rob a tobacco shop accidentally shot himself in the head after stealing a single cigarette, police said. Initial reports said the man's weapon went off while he was trying to escape over a wall.
A robbery alarm brought police to the business where officers found the body of a man with a gunshot wound in the head.
Robbery Lt. Ted Snodgrass said this morning the man walked into the smoke shop with a sawed-off .22 shotgun and robbed the clerk of one pack of Kool cigarettes. He opened the pack, took out one cigarette, put the pack on the counter and exited.
He started smoking and then shot himself, Snodgrass said.
