An attempted Bellagio robbery in Las Vegas ended in a gunfight between police and the suspect late Friday.

An armed man walked into the casino and approached a popular poker cage, where he demanded money, before quickly fleeing out the north entrance, Las Vegas police said in an overnight press conference.

The suspect attempted to carjack someone at the valet but was confronted immediately by four uniformed officers. The man turned and fired at least one shot in the direction of an officer who was struck in the chest, police said.

Kevin McMahill with the Las Vegas Police Department said “The bullet hit the cell phone in his pocket and then bounced off into his vest,” McMahill said. “He was really lucky.” He was treated and released, police said.

A second officer returned fire, striking the suspect in the chest. The man, who was not identified, died a few hours later. You can read more details on the Bellagio robbery at ABC News.
