Investigators said an armed robbery victim shot the suspect in the parking lot of a store outside Florence early Thursday night.
It happened about 6:45 p.m. at the Dollar General at 2223 E. Howe Springs Road, Florence County Sheriff's Capt. Mike Nunn said in a press release issued Friday afternoon.
Investigators said the victim of an armed robbery, while sitting in his vehicle in the store parking lot, shot the suspect, who was wounded and fled from the scene, leaving his handgun behind, Nunn said.
The suspect later was found to have been taken to an area hospital in a privately owned vehicle, Nunn said. His condition isn't known, the captain said.
The victim, a holder of a valid Concealed Weapons Permit, wasn't injured, Nunn said.
The investigation continues, he said.
