The armed robbery call came in to Acworth police about 10:25 a.m., spokesman Capt. Mark Cheatham told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The man was at Kennesaw Medical Center but he did not drive himself there, Cheatham said.
A man walked in alone to the Subway at 3305 Acworth Oaks Drive, near Baker Road, Cheatham said.
A male employee shot and hit the man in the chest, but the suspect ran out and minutes later Kennesaw police got a call about a man having been shot.
He was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was believed to be in surgery about 12:30 p.m.
Cheatham said detectives are seeking other people who may have been involved.
Police have not positively identified the suspect. No additional information was available.
