GROVE CITY, Ohio — Police said that a robbery victim acted in self-defense when he shot a man who was trying to rob him late Monday morning.
The incident occurred at about 11 a.m. behind a Wendy's restaurant, located on Broadway.
Investigators told 10TV's Glenn McEntyre that a man was walking his dog when another man approached him with a gun and demanded his wallet.
The victim complied and then pulled out his own gun, shooting the robber, police said.
The accused robber, Keith Walker Jr., ran to a nearby neighborhood where he collapsed. Walker underwent surgery at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, McEntyre reported.
Amir Ibrahim, 19, was charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the incident. According to police, Ibrahim lives at the home where Walker collapsed and hid his gun and the victim's wallet inside the home.

Ahhh.....at least there is some good news this morning.
Sounds just exactly what Mark Twain would say ... both he and Will Rogers.
Ohio has very good laws regarding the purchase of firearms.
Who paid for Walker’s surgery? Oh, never mind.
Your friendly, token and innocent representative of the ROP.
If he had a CCP he wouldn’t have tossed the Gun.
The police should give McEntyre a certificate of appreciation for shooting the robber.
And a ticket for have unexpended ammunition in his weapon.
One reason that so many of these turds survive is that the double edged sword of the best emergency room treatment in the world.
Yup, thanks for the catch.
At least they didn't call him the victim. They got it right this time.
Are Ibrahim and the robber both Black Muslims? Not enough details are in the story to tell, but I'm guessing the answer is "yes". I've found that hanging questions of the PC type in these stories usually tells you all you need to know.
The best way to stop them is a double or
triple tap center mass, this often means
DRT.
