MIAMI -- Police say a man who tried to rob a store ended up being shot by the store owner, and snagged by his own shoelace when he tried to get away.

The owner of the New Way Supermarket at 3385 N.W. 22nd Ave. said an armed man came into the store and tried to rob it. The store owner and his employee both pulled out guns, and all three began firing.

The would-be robber was struck in the chest by the gunfire. He ran from the store with the owner and employee in pursuit.

A short time later, police found the robbery suspect hanging upside down with his shoelace caught in a fence he had tried to climb over.

The suspect was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he is listed in critical condition.

According to police, it is not likely that the owner or employee will face any charges in the shooting.
