Robber Shot By Employee Inside Chicago Loop Jewelry Store

A man trying to rob a jewelry store in the Loop Saturday morning was shot by an employee inside, and it was all captured on surveillance cameras inside and outside the store.

The incident happened just before 11 a.m. on Jeweler's Row, in the 0-100 block of North Wabash Avenue.

Surveillance video shows the would-be robber, who wore a red sweatshirt, walking around for about a minute before he took off running toward the entrance.

He began to bash in a glass case, and that's when the employee reached behind the counter and began shooting at the man before he tried to get away.

Footage from outside the store shows him stumbling out, then running back in to grab what appears to be a small bag before taking off up the stairs to the CTA.

Police say shortly after that, a man was placed into custody and taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound, where he was reportedly stabilized
