A suspect was shot and wounded Saturday after allegedly attempting to rob a man during a meetup arranged online for the sale of an item.
The incident occurred around 6 p.m. in Dunwoody, Georgia.
FOX 5 Atlanta reported that there were two alleged robbers and they came to an apartment complex where a man had listed something for sale. Gunfire was exchanged during the meetup, leaving one of the alleged robbers wounded.
11 Alive noted that the wounded suspect was taken into police custody. The second suspect fled the complex and was not located.
A neighbor to the resident who shot the alleged robber said, “It sounded almost like fireworks, and then when I came out, that’s when my neighbors told me that it was literally the gunshots, and I was like Oh my goodness.”
The neighbor added, “It’s normally a quiet community, so nobody really bothers anybody here, everybody is just really nice and quiet, so it was very shocking to hear that that happened.”
