Deputies said an armed man allegedly robbed a Dollar General Store at 15045 Ella Blvd. and the manager fired shots at the suspect, striking him. He took off in a vehicle and hit a METRO bus about a block away, according to the sheriff's office.
METRO said there were six passengers and the driver aboard the bus during the crash. Officials said no one on the bus was seriously injured.

"It appears that the pistol (the suspect had) was actually an airsoft-type of pistol," Gonzalez said during a news conference. "They look very realistic, and at the time when someone is facing that at gunpoint, they don't know what kind of pistol that is."
Gonzalez said the suspect's vehicle is being investigated as well. Investigators believe the car might have been used in a separate store robbery, in the same general area, two days ago.
