A man deputies say tried to rob a Buncombe County convenience store is recovering from a gunshot wound.
The clerk called 911 Wednesday night from the Kounty Line store on Hendersonville Road saying he'd just shot the suspect, who is identified as 32 yr. old Roy Tyson.
Deputies tell News13 when Tyson pulled a gun and demanded money, the clerk shot him in the left arm. Tyson then fled in a 1996 while Chevrolet Celebrity and led police on a chase through East Asheville on I-240. He was eventually captured.
The suspect is now being treated for his injuries at Mission Hospital. Deputies plan to arrest him once he's released. The clerk who shot Tyson will not face any charges.
