"On Saturday, just after 8:30, police responded to a robbery in progress on Daily Street. As a result, several police mobiles were dispatched to that area. Upon arrival, on Eve's Street, police observed two male persons running in that direction. Based on the description that was provided by the victim, police pursued these guys and as a result, during the pursuit, one of the male persons was shot to the leg. Police recovered in the area about $44 and 45 cents in coins, which is suspected to be proceeds of the robbery reported. The robbery happened earlier on Daily Street at this business place, namely Kum Hua Store, of Daily Street. The proprietor reported that an amount of about $350 was stolen from her and this was by two male persons who entered the shop. One of them ordered a gallon of water. While she was attending to him, another male person entered. She was forced inside of the shop and thereafter one of the male persons jumped into the counter and pointed a gun while she was outside with the man. And thereafter, they stole the $350 from the register."
The robber who got shot in his foot is still in the hospital.
