Police are searching for an armed robbery suspect who is luck to be alive after a run-in with an armed store owner in Knoxville, Tennessee.
According to WVLT:
Employees say the man pointed a gun at one of the clerks. When he tried going around the lottery machine to get to the cash register, the store owner pulled a handgun.
Police say the owner fired several shots as the suspect ran, hitting him at least once.
The suspect remains at large despite the fact that officers believe he was shot. Blood droplets left at the scene seem to imply that the clerk’s rounds found their target.
