J.D.'s Market owner shoots robbery suspect
Convenience store owner Karim Barakat feared for his life when an armed robber demanded money and cocked his handgun about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday at J.D.'s Market in downtown Murfreesboro, a police spokesman said.
Instead of giving up any money, Barakat reached for his own handgun and shot suspected robber Edward Christopher Evans, 24, in the arm, said Murfreesboro Police Lt. Alvin Baird.
Evans, who is expected to be charged in connection with the robbery, was treated at Middle Tennessee Medical Center's emergency room.
Barakat's wife and daughter were inside the Maney Avenue store at the corner of Vine Street during the robbery and shooting. They were not injured.
