Second Akron store worker fires on robbers
For the second straight night, an Akron convenience store clerk opened fire on would-be robbers.
The latest shooting occured Wednesday night at the Delia Market where police say a clerk wounded one of the three armed robbers.
Gerald Arnold, 17, of Akron was arrested by police at Akron General Medical Center where he was being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg about 10 minutes after the robbery.
Arnold was charged as a juvenile with robbery.
Also arrested in connection with the Delia robbery is 18-year-old William Oldham of Alkron. A third suspect is being sought by Akron police detectives.
Police Lt. Rick Edwards said three men entered the Delia Market at about 8 p.m. All were armed with handguns. One robber put his weapon to the head of a clerk and demaded money.
Another clerk appeared and fired several shots. The clerk told police he believed he shot one of the suspects before the trio fled without any money.
Police received a call from hospital workers a short time later.
Edwards said police do not believe the robber was connected to Tuesday's attempted heist at a West Market Street store where a clerk fired a pistol at two would-be robbers.
