3 Wounded In Liquor Store Robbery Attempt

Shots Fired At West Sacramento Store

Three people were wounded in an attempted robbery of a West Sacramento liquor store Thursday night.

It happened about 10:30 p.m. at a store on Poplar Avenue, just off West Capitol Avenue.

Police said a car with four men inside pulled up to the store. Two men stayed inside the car while two other went inside the store in an alleged robbery attempt.

The men exchanged gunfire with two clerks. Both clerks and at least one of the men were hit.

"One of our patrol cars was coming by when this was going down. There was a pursuit. Suspects were taken into custody. Three of them were taken into custody over by the Methodist Hospital in Sacramento. One of them apparently has a gunshot wound," West Sacramento Police Department Lt. Dave Farmer said.

The fourth man suspected in the incident remains at large.

The wounded clerks were taken to an area hospital. Their conditions have not been released.
