Police say a female robbery suspect was shot while she and another man held up a grocery store in York City. The suspects entered the La Familia Store along the 300 block of Prospect Street around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday night. The pair confronted the store owner at gunpoint and demanded cash, police said.

That’s when the owner pulled out his own gun and fired several shots at the robbers. They fled the store with a small amount of cash.

Investigators found the female suspect a short time later–she told officers she had been shot. The woman was taken to York Hospital for treatment.

The male is still at large.
