NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A would-be robber was injured in a shootout when the person he tried to rob fired back.
Metro Nashville Police officials say the man approached someone in the parking lot of Opry Mills Mall, showed them his gun and demanded their things.
But that's when police say the person also pulled out a gun in self-defense and the two exchanged gunfire.
The suspect was hit in the knee and ran away, but police say he was taken into custody shortly after the incident in front of the hotel and convention center. He was transported to the hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.
The attempted-robbery victim was not injured.

One killed, one injured in west Houston apartment burglary; An elderly woman living at The Crossing at Old Farm apartment complex at 2500 Old Farm Road woke up to her dogs barking around 5 a.m., and found a man standing next to her bed.
The suspect jumped on top of her and zip-tied her, before letting two other men into the home and ransacking the residence for jewelry, said Houston Police Department homicide detective Alexander Vinogradov. Police said the three burglars climbed a ladder behind the apartment complex and broke in through the balcony door.
Ten minutes after the suspects came into the apartment, the woman's son returned home and shot at the burglars. In a "wild shootout" in the hallway, the son was shot twice and one of the suspects was fatally shot, Vinogradov said.
