Klingon Weapon Used in 2 7-Eleven Robberies

It’s come to this.

A man wielding a batleth robbed two 7-Eleven stories in Colorado Springs overnight.  The first assault using the deadly Klingon weapon occurred at 1:50 a.m. when a man police described as white in his 20s, wearing a black mask, black jacket, and blue jeans walked in brandishing the weapon.  The clerk recognized the traditional armament and forked over an undisclosed amount of cash.

Thirty minutes later, according to The Denver Channel, the same man hit a second store but this time the clerk showed bravery in the face of certain death.  He too recognized the ancient weapon but refused the demand and the would-be thief showed his true colors and fled.

Police are reviewing the stores’ surveillance tapes and Lt. David Whitlock said he does not plan to release the video or photographs "at this time."
