December 24, 2010 Richmond security officer shot during robbery www.privateofficer.com
The armed guard, who works for a private security company, was accompanying some employees out of the DTLR clothing store about 10 p.m. when a vehicle pulled up to the curb and gunfire was exchanged between the guard and someone in the vehicle, Henrico police Lt. R.J. Clark said.
“There was a gun battle between the two of them,” Clark said.
The security guard was shot, apparently in the hand, Clarke said, but his injury was not considered life-threatening. The vehicle left, and it was not clear whether anyone in the vehicle was wounded, Clark said.
“We don’t know anything about the suspects at all,” Clark said. The security guard “did shoot multiple rounds back at them.”
After the guard was shot, he took cover in a nearby Subway restaurant, where someone called 911, Clark said. The guard was taken to VCU Medical Center.
