An alleged armed robber was hospitalized in critical condition after being shot by a New Iberia, Louisiana, store clerk Thursday night.
KLFY indicated the suspect entered the store around 10:30 p.m. armed with a “cutting instrument” and made his way behind the counter to allegedly commit a robbery.
A struggle ensued and the clerk shot the suspect.
KATC noted that officers arrived and found the alleged robber “with at least one gunshot wound.” He was taken to a nearby hospital then airlifted to a second hospital in critical condition.
The New Iberia Police Department reported that “the names of the individuals involved are not being released at this time” and noted that an investigation into the incident continues.
