COLUMBUS, Ohio—[...] [The] shooting happened during an attempted carryout robbery and turned into a shootout between the suspect and an employee.

The incident began around midnight Thursday, a few hours after Sam’s Gas and Carryout at East 5th and Leonard avenues, closed for the day.

An employee of the carryout (who also is the owner’s son) and his roommate came back to the store to get some groceries they forgot, according to the employee.

While inside, a man entered and asked if he could buy something.

Moments later, a second man entered and allegedly demanded money. When the employee turned away, one of the men allegedly began firing a weapon.

The employee shot back with his own firearm and sent the suspects running.

A short time later, one of the suspects walked into OSU Medical Center East with a gunshot wound in the torso.

The suspect was in stable condition and was charged for the crime.
