Two men are airlifted with gunshot wounds
Two men apparently attempted to rob the wrong people after one of the intended victims shot the two would-be robbers, sending both to the hospital.
According to Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff Heath Jackson, about 7 p.m. Monday, sheriff’s deputies, along with Poarch and Atmore police officers, responded to the 7400 block of Jack Springs Road in reference to a shots fired disturbance.
Sheriff Jackson reported when officers arrived they found two male subjects suffering from gunshot wounds. Both men were provided life-saving measures and later airlifted to nearby trauma centers.
During the investigation, Sheriff Jackson said it was learned that the two-gunshot victims had attempted to rob two other men at gunpoint. However, one of the intended victims had a weapon and opened fire and struck the two would-be robbers.
Sheriff Jackson said Wednesday the case is still under investigation and there was no update on the condition of the two gunshot victims.
