Original Story:

An employee shot one of two suspects after a liquor store robbery in southeast Wichita on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Officers called to F&K Liquor at Lincoln and Woodlawn at around 12:30 p.m. found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg, Officer Charley Davidson said.

The man was one of two people who had walked into the store, brandished a gun and demanded money, Davidson said. The pair ran after they were given cash.

A man in his 50s who works at the store then fired multiple shots as the robbers ran, and one of the bullets hit the 18-year-old man, Davidson said.

Police found the 18-year-old man in an alley between the liquor store and Family Dollar, Davidson said. He was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No information on the other robber was released.

Police ask anyone with information on the case to call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
