An armored guard shot a robber during a holdup attempt in Northwest Washington and at least one person is in custody, D.C. police said.
At about 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, three people approached an armored car in the Brightwood neighborhood parked in front of the CVS Pharmacy in the 6500 block of Georgia Avenue, said Officer Araz Alali. The robbers and guard exchanged gunfire and the suspects fled.
One of the suspects was struck and checked into the Washington Hospital Center.
Police continue to investigate.
