One Shot in Botched Robbery Attempt

One person was shot early Friday morning in what Toledo police are calling a botched robbery attempt.

It happened on North Hawley Street near Hamilton and Buckingham streets around 2:40 a.m.

Detectives say a 30-year-old man was getting into his vehicle after leaving Club Mirage, when he was approached by another man.

The suspect demanded money and when the other man tried to run away, he was shot in the back. Police say the wound is life threatening as the bullet entered the victim's chest cavity. The victim also had a gun, got a shot off, but missed.

The victim managed to make it down the street and that is where the police found him. He was taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center and is in surgery.

The suspect fled the scene. He is described as a black male in his 20s, with a white leather jacket, dark pants with a printed pattern and a black skull cap.
