BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Beaumont Police said an officer responded to a robbery at a convenience store and found a man fitting the suspect's description.

The suspect fired at the officer, and the officer shot back. Police scoured the area late Saturday without finding the suspect.

But a woman called for an ambulance Sunday morning saying her brother had a broken arm. Except when paramedics arrived, they discovered it was a non-life-threatening bullet wound.

Police have not released the suspect's name. He was being held on aggravated robbery and attempted capital murder charges and was undergoing surgery on his wound.
