SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - Police in Southern California say an alleged robber at a fast food restaurant was shot by a customer in the drive-through lane who witnessed the holdup and fired through a window before speeding off.
Santa Ana Police Commander Michael Claborn says the robbery suspect was hospitalized late Saturday with multiple gunshot wounds, but is expected to survive.
Claborn says the customer fired several times at the robber, shattering the drive-through window. Investigators say the armed customer drove away and is now wanted on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Claborn calls the shooter’s actions “very dangerous.”
