Suspect Shot During Robbery Attempt at Hampton Food Lion

Hampton police say a man attempting to hold up a grocery store was shot by a store security guard Monday night.

The 19-year old suspect, identified as Caleb Joshua Carr of the 3500 block of Kecoughtan Road, is in intensive care with a gunshot wound to the head. He is listed in stable condition.

According to authorities, it was around 10:42pm when the guard inside the Food Lion in the 3800 block of Kecoughtan Road saw a masked man jump over a counter and demand money from a cashier.

Police say the guard identified himself as security personnel and demanded that the suspect surrender. When the suspect pointed the gun toward the guard, officials say the guard fired one shot striking the suspect in the head.

None of the customers or employees in the business at the time were injured.

This is the second time in less than two months that police were called to a late night robbery at a Hampton Food Lion.

In January, police were called to a store in the 2700 block of Nickerson Boulevard when two masked men pointed weapons at cashiers and demanded money. When a cashier couldn't get her register to open fast enough, the suspects opened fire. The cashier was hit by a ricochet bullet. Another worker was shot in the shoulder.

Both employees recovered from their injuries.

Bravo on the head shot, but next time, use a bigger gun.

Right. When he appears in court, he shouldn't wear a prison jumpsuit as it may prejudice the jury.

thug? You will find during his law suit against the guard that he was collecting donations for his church and the guard misunderstood. Actually the perp was an honor student and helped little old ladies across the street./sarcasm off

The Fulton Co. Sherrif department should offer this guy a job to patrol their court rooms.

I suspect the suspect is probably guilty. :-)

gun control means hitting what you aim at.

Thanks for the ping. Hampton is close to where I live. A lot of police officers around here work as security guards when they're off duty to earn extra money. My brother-in-law is a cop and I know that he does it frequently. So I wonder if this security guard was also a police officer.

7% of the population commits 60% of the violent rapes, robberies, and murders in this country. Where's the outrage?

It's a shame they have to hire off duty officers with guns to protect the grocery stores. What is this world coming to ?
