TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Police in Tulsa say a second man has died after being shot by a convenience store clerk during an attempted robbery.

Police say one man was dead at the scene late Tuesday night at Ryan's Convenience and the second man died later at a Tulsa hospital.

Police told reporters that the clerk told officers that three masked men entered the store armed with handguns and that the clerk responded by opening fire with his handgun, striking two of the men while the third man escaped.

The names of the clerk and the dead men were not immediately released.
