One person was shot after reportedly trying to rob an armored vehicle on East Brainerd Road in Chattanooga on Tuesday, police say.
The armored Brinks vehicle was stopped at the Walgreens in the 8700 block of East Brainerd Road when a person allegedly confronted and tried to rob one of the people making rounds in the truck, police spokesperson Sgt. Victor Miller said by phone.
The worker then shot the person, Miller said, leaving him with non-life-threatening injuries. The person drove to a hospital and is now in custody, Miller said.
Police have not publicly identified the person suspected in the attempted robbery, and it is not clear what charges might be forthcoming.
Miller said he doesn’t anticipate any charges for the worker who fired. The worker was not injured, Miller said.
