SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Police say a clerk at a central Indiana gas station shot and wounded one of two men who tried to rob the business.

Shelbyville police Lt. Mike Turner says the two men entered CountryMark Bonded Gas along Indiana 44 near the city's downtown Monday night. Turner says they tried to attack the clerk who was able to get a gun and shoot at them.

The men fled from the store but Turner says the wounded man was soon found and flown to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment.
