From Monday's paper...
"A would-be robber who tried to hold up a Chinese restaurant in Laurel last night was killed by an employee who pulled his own weapon and fataly shot him, police said.
Police received a call about 9:30 p.m. concerning a robbery in progress at the oriental Express restaurant at 14713 Baltimore Ave., said Cpl. Tammy Sparkman, a Prince George's County police spokeswoman.
Police said a man had pulled out a gun, grabbed a worker and demanded money. While he held the worker at gunpoint, another employee came out from the kitchen area with a gun and fatally shot the suspect. No one else was injured, Sparkman said.
Police were still on the scene late last night and did not know the identity of the shooting victim, Sparkman said. There were no customers in the restaurant during the shooting, she said.
