Chase said he heard three to four gunshots. The father is believed to have shot at least one of the suspects.
The four suspects dashed back to a black Infiniti and fled the scene, according to FOX13. They reportedly went to a fire station and dropped off the wounded suspect, who was then taken to the hospital in non-critical condition.
It’s unclear if the father will face any charges for shooting the suspect during the attempted robbery.

Chase said he didn’t think the father, who was not identified, should face any consequences.
"He was doing what any father should have did: protect his child. And I also told the police whether he had a gun license or not, it was a righteous shot," Chase said. "He did what any man would do for his kids."
