Karma is sometimes so beautiful. Take this story, for example. A gunman attempted to rob a load of Pokémon Go players and ended up getting shot himself. Cue laughter.
The incident took place in Las Vegas and, despite the fact that it sounds hilarious, it was actually quite serious. There was a shootout and everything.
Advert
Six Pokémon Go players were out and about at 4am (as you do) at a public park. According to the police, the gunman and their underage driver accomplice pulled up and demanded their possessions while pointing a gun square at them.
I don't know about you, but I'd pass my belongings over quicker than you could say 'Pikachu'. But the players were having none of it. Turns out one of them had concealed weapons (and a permit, don't worry) leading to a shootout.

Laura Meltzer, a Las Vegas police spokeswoman, told Fox News that the 'shooting left a Pokémon player and the would-be armed robber hospitalised with non-life threatening injuries'.
It looks like charges against both the suspect and the youth who was driving the car are going to be made.
