[/align] A store clerk shoots a would-be robber.
According to the Halifax County Sheriff's Office, the clerk called 911 to report an armed robbery at Max's Grocery in Scottsburg.
The clerk told the sheriff's office a man entered the store around 6:30 p.m. armed with a handgun and demanded money. The sheriff's office said the clerk shot the suspect who then left on foot.
Deputies found the suspect around 8:20 p.m. in some woods near the store. He was taken to Halifax Regional Hospital with an apparent gun shot wound to the chest.
The suspect, Richard Anthony Snead, has been charged with attempted armed robbery and use of a firearm in commission of a felony.
Anyone with further information on this attempted robbery is asked to call the Halifax County Sheriff's Office at 434-476-3334.
