An employee of Church's Chicken in southwest Little Rock is in critical condition after he was shot in what detectives believe was a robbery attempt Thursday evening, a police spokesman said.
Little Rock police responded at 7:15 p.m. to a call that a shooting had just occurred at the Church's Chicken at 7621 Geyer Springs Road, where an employee had been shot in his torso, officer Eric Barnes said.
The man was in "very critical condition" as of late Thursday, Barnes said. The wound was grievous enough that homicide detectives were at the scene sifting evidence and talking to witnesses, he said.
Witnesses said the shooter was a man between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet 2 inches wearing dark clothing, Barnes said.
