Man Robbed, Injured in The Greater Ville

District 5 is investigating a robbery that left a man injured around 5 p.m. in the 3900 block of Maffitt.

A 39-year-old man told officers he had met with four unknown male suspects who wanted to purchase window tint. Upon meeting with them, the man said one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him. The man said he then raised his own firearm and shot at the suspects before the suspects took his firearm.

The suspects fled in a red Nissan. The 39-year-old sustained a gunshot wound to his leg during the incident; however, the victim was unsure if he accidentally shot himself or if he was shot by one of the suspects.

EMS transported the 39-year-old man to the hospital where he was listed in critical condition. The investigation remains ongoing.
