A robbery suspect was shot by an employee at Gold Exchange in Corpus Christi, TX, KRIS-TV reports.

The suspect walked into the store and fired a gun on Thursday afternoon. The employee fired back.

The suspect ran away and was eventually caught by police. He was taken to Spohn Shoreline Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to KRIS-TV.

Three other suspects in the attempted robbery jumped into a car and drove away, police say. They were arrested soon afterward.

Police believe the four suspects were also involved in another robbery attempt earlier Thursday afternoon.

KRIS-TV reports that the men “are facing a slew of charges including aggravated robbery.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
