Police: Teen Robber Shot By Local Storeowner

Suspected Robber Remains In Critical Condition

UPDATED: 4:46 pm EST January 13, 2005

A 17-year-old male from Detroit was shot after he participated in a robbery at a local store, police said.

The 17-year-old and two other teens -- a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old, also from Detroit -- are accused of robbing a party store in the 19600 block of 10 Mile in Southfield at about 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

Police said it appears that the 51-year-old storeowner, from West Bloomfield, opened fire because he felt his life was threatened by the three youths.

The 17-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Providence Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

The 16-year-old and 15-year-old were arrested. One was chased and captured by a police officer and the other was tracked down by a K-9 unit, police said.

Police said the teens were driving a stolen 2002 Dodge Durango.

The robbery and shooting remain under investigation, according to police.

The names of the teenagers were being withheld pending charges.
