NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 17-year-old was shot and killed after police say he tried to rob a North Nashville restaurant.

According to Metro Nashville Police, Jaylin Cummins tried to rob Knock Out Wings on Jefferson Street at 9:40 p.m. Thursday.

Five employees were inside the restaurant when an armed Cummins allegedly walked in and demanded money.

Police say one of the employees, identified as 58-year-old Herbert Scruggs, got a pistol from another employee who had his hands up and fired at Cummins.
