MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shots were fired after four suspects attempted to rob a clothing store in Whitehaven Wednesday, Memphis Police say.

MPD says at around 7:30 p.m., officers responded to a shooting at The Spot Inc. in the 4600 block of Faronia Drive. Four males reportedly tried to rob the store at gunpoint.

During the incident, the store owner and the suspects fired multiple shots at each other.

A 16-year-old male suspect was shot and taken to Methodist South. He was later airlifted to Regional One Hospital, and is currently in critical condition, reports say.

A second suspect arrived at the hospital and was taken into custody without incident.

This remains an ongoing investigation, according to police.

we could use more employee’s armed with shot guns to end these attacks by ferals.

Side bar: CVS just opened a store in downtown oceanside. This counter to all the stores closing and says something good about our community and police.

Odd how Yahoo’s title makes it seem like the 16-year-old was an innocent bystander, like maybe a customer in the store.

Or maybe it’s not so odd. It is Yahoo, after all.

Will the 2 suspects that were injured on the job be eligible for Workers Comp?

How can they be “suspects” when one of them has bullets downloaded into him by the ARMED store owner? Sounds like this “hack” didn’t work out well for da boyz. (I’m practicing my new Zero Gs lingo).

Well, one thing is for sure. You and I and every other taxpayer will be covering their medical bills.

Exactly HOW MANY of the guns in this picture were LEGALLY PURCHASED and as such are LEGALLY Owned?????

My guess, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, etc.

Tennessee’s Chicago. Fence them in and let them eliminate the problem themselves.

And who pays the bill...?

If shots had to be fired, glad the “victim” was the perp, not the store staff.
