Narrative:
Landed at the airport at approximately xa:35. Performed all landing checks (three green lights and gear handle down) and had a normal landing. As I was rolling down the runway on all three wheels the nose gear collapsed. Before the nose gear collapsed; I heard the gear horn go off. I looked down and the nose gear light had turned off. I verified that the nose gear handle was down. I started to feel the nose of the aircraft sinking so I pulled back as hard as I could and killed the engine with the ignition. I was not able to hold the nose from striking the ground before the propeller stopped turning. There was no injury to my passenger or myself. There was also no damage to the runway.
