Police in Las Vegas shot and killed two men in separate cases less than five hours apart.
Officer Marcus Martin says officers fatally wounded a 23-year-old robber who held a knife to a bartender and attacked a patron with a beer bottle during a hold-up about 10:30 a.m. Monday at a bar east of downtown Las Vegas.
Martin says officers shot the other man a little before 6 a.m. after trying to use a Taser stun gun and a bean bag shotgun to subdue him.
Martin says that man attacked officers with a sharpened walking stick outside a convenience store.
The two incidents occurred about four miles apart, but Martin says they aren't connected.
The names of the two men weren't immediately made public.
