Man attempting to rob store shot by owner Star-Telegram

ARLINGTON – A would-be robber was shot twice in the stomach by the owner
of an Arlington grocery store Wednesday night, police said.

At about 9:30 p.m., a man with a T-shirt wrapped around his head walked
into the Good Luck Restaurant and Grocery, 1715 S. Cooper St., and
demanded money from the employees as he brandished a knife, said Sgt.
Tom Savage.

Savage said the employees at first thought the man was joking and did
not react. The man then held the knife to an employee’s throat and again
demanded money and was shot with a handgun by the store owner, Savage
said.

The injured suspect staggered out of the store and collapsed behind the
building, Savage said.
He was taken to Methodist Medical Center in Dallas with injuries
believed to be life-threatening.

The man, who was not identified, may face a charge of aggravated
robbery.
