Someone threw a rock through the liquor store’s window and started to break into the store when the owner confronted two suspects, Bartmann said.

At least one of the suspects shot at the owner, hitting him in the leg before the owner returned fire. The liquor store owner was taken to the hospital.

The two suspects ran from the scene, driving away in a red vehicle northbound on Parker Road. The sheriff’s office did not have any information on a make or model of the vehicle, as of 8 a.m., Bartmann said.

He did not know why the store owner was in the business before 6 in the morning Wednesday.
