A business owner and another person were shot during a robbery at midday Friday.

At 1:43 p.m., police received a call about a shooting at a business on the 5500 block of Bonner Drive, just off Staples Street. Lt. Michael Pena said two masked men entered the business with weapons and the business owner fought back.

The owner shot at the suspects, hitting one, before being shot twice himself.

The business owner, in his sixties, had two gunshots to his torso and is in critical but stable condition at Christus Spohn Hospital South.
