A 22-year-old male is facing attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting an employee of a Logan Avenue convenience store.

Police say that around 11:30 am on July 25, 2023, police were called to the 800 block for a report of a 21-year-old male suffering serious injuries from a gunshot wound. The victim was located and taken to hospital in critical condition then upgraded to stable.

The victim, who was an employee at the store, saw the theft happen and followed the suspect outside the store and confronted him. The suspect pulled out a sawed-off shotgun, shot the victim and fled on foot.
