Police search for men in attempted robbery

Chattanooga police are searching for two attempted robbery suspects, one of whom reportedly shot a woman while she sat in her car late Wednesday night.

The 32-year-old woman told police she was headed home and sitting at the traffic light at Main and Willow streets when two males approached her passenger-side window and began beating on it, demanding she roll it down and give them money, Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Kim Noorbergen stated in a news release.

When the woman refused, one man fired a shot that struck her in the back of the right arm and went into her side, police said. She was taken to Erlanger hospital and is listed in fair condition, Lt. Noorbergen said.

Police are looking for two black males of average height and build, one with short hair wearing a white hoodie and another wearing dark clothing. Several people told police they heard shots in the area but could give no more information.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 698-2525.
