Memphis, Tennessee

From February 2, 2006 WREG-TV channel 3:
MEMPHIS - Crime tape straddles Castalia Supermarket in South Memphis. Police say three armed gunmen wearing masks walked in and tried to rob the place. "All I saw was somebody running out the store," says witness Benny Burnett. But not before the owner fought back and pulled out a gun of his own. "There was a shootout between them and the store owner, the store owner was hit," according to Lt. Mickey Williams.

Witnesses say the whole thing was down right bloody. "He was bleeding like a hawk where ever they shot him at it was blood all in front of the store," Burnett says. Police would only say there were numerous people in the store when it happened and they're trying to figure out if the other person shot was an employee or customer.
