The teen, a Rochester resident, is charged with the attempted robbery of Henry’s Convenience Store on Denise Road on Tuesday. He’s also charged with a robbery at the same store that happened on April 26.
Police say the store owner shot the suspect in self-defense after the suspect went into the store wearing a mask and pointing a gun. The teen underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to his leg and remains hospitalized under the watch of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Officers say they found the suspect injured on nearby Lake Avenue. A Greece police officer put a tourniquet on the suspect’s leg before he was taken to Strong Hospital.
Police got calls about the robbery and shooting around 7:30 a.m. The caller said the store owner and the suspect exchanged gunfire and the suspect ran away after being hit. Fifteen minutes later, officers got reports of a man shot.
Police say the suspect went into the store with a mask, and when asked to take it off, he pointed a gun at the store owner.
Greece Police say they recovered the suspect’s gun inside the store. Police say the store owner was a legal pistol permit holder and wasn’t injured.
