Texas police shoot robbery suspect

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Fort Worth police shot a man suspected of robbing more than a dozen businesses.

Dallas-Fort Worth television KDFW reports police responded to a robbery call at a U-Haul store Monday afternoon and saw a truck matching the description of the one used in several recent robberies.

The driver didn’t stop when they tried to pull him over. An officer drew her gun and fired one bullet into the truck, hitting the suspect. He was arrested and taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition.

A witness, Aymen Awad, says he was standing outside talking and saw the police parking in the front of the store and screaming “move out of the way.” He ran inside the store.

Police haven’t released the suspect’s name.
