Eatery workers, suspects trade shots

A robbery suspect may have been wounded in a shootout with restaurant workers at an oyster bar late Sunday, according to Orlando police reports.

Employees and two suspects traded shots about 11:30 p.m. outside the back door of Froggers Grill and Bar Southwest on Conroy-Windermere Road, reports state.

Having been robbed a week earlier while taking out the trash, both kitchen workers told police they armed with themselves with .40-caliber and 9 mm pistols before doing the chore Sunday night, reports show.

The kitchen workers told police they stepped outside and were confronted by two men armed with a rifle and a pistol who ordered them to drop to their knees. Then one of the suspects fired a shot without striking either man, reports show.

The employees opened fire, and the suspects fled by jumping a fence.
