ATLANTA —

An armed robbery suspect is in custody after police say he tried to rob a donut shop in southwest Atlanta.

The incident happened at the Dunkin' Donuts near the intersection of Ralph D Abernathy Boulevard SW and Cascade Avenue SW just before 10 p.m. Saturday.

Police told Channel 2 that while the man was trying to rob the shop, a police officer arrived at the scene. The suspect tried to flee, but was shot in the arm by the officer, police said.

Following the shooting, the man jumped into a car, but crashed two blocks away from the scene. He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital and is listed in stable condition.

Police told Channel 2 that while the man was trying to rob the shop, a police officer arrived at the scene.

What are the odds?

Some robbers are idiots.

These headlines are getting more and more outrageous. How about this one: Man shoots alien at truckstop while putting on chains, alien gets caught in chains and flies off with truck. I could swear this happened last week in Yakima.
