Subway employee shoots attempted robber in chest, police say

A Subway store employee shot a man who police say tried to rob the restaurant in Cobb County, Georgia, on Monday morning.

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.
