A person was shot to death Tuesday evening during what police say was an attempted robbery at a York City restaurant.

York City Police responded about 7 p.m. Tuesday to a shooting at the Asian Best restaurant, 15 N Penn St., according to York County 911.

Police tell reporters they believe the restaurant owner fatally shot a person during an attempted robbery.

The man allegedly broke in armed with a gun after the restaurant had closed and demanded money from the register, CBS21 reports.
