Good Samaritan shot 4 times in Caroline robbery, suspect flees
May 9, 2010 12:00 am
Caroline sheriff's deputies are searching for a man they say shot a good Samaritan four times while trying to rob a gas station last night.
According to Lt. J.H. Crowder of the Caroline County Sheriff's Office, a man entered the Mr. Fuel gas station in the Carmel Church area displaying a gun and demanding money around 9:36 p.m..
A customer entered the store and saw what was going on. He grabbed a beer bottle from the refrigerator cases at the back of the store and struck the suspect in the back of the head, Crowder said.
The suspect turned and shot the man at least four times, Crowder said, striking him in the head, shoulder and both legs.
The suspect fled the store by foot and has not been located, Crowder said.
The victim was transported to Mary Washington Hospital for treatment. His condition is unknown at this time.
A video surveillance photo of the suspect shows a black male between the ages of 35 and 45, wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. He is described as being between 6-feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
That photo will be released to the media soon.
No money was taken and no one else was hurt.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Caroline County Sheriff's Office at 804/633-5400.
