Funeral Home Owner Shoots Robber During Crime
Police in Union say a funeral home owner stopped a robbery by shooting a suspect.
It happened early Wednesday morning at Lewis Funeral Home on Duncan Bypass in Union.
Police say the funeral home owner, Scott Lewis, was embalming a body when a man came in with a gun. Investigators say the suspect threatened to kill Lewis if he didn't get money.
Officers say Lewis told the robber he needed to go to the van to get cash. When they reached the vehicle, Lewis turned around and shot the robber in the arm.
The suspect, 26-year-old Tracy Bishop, is receiving treatment in the hospital and will face several charges. Lewis will not face any charges.
