UPDATE -- A possible armed robbery ends with Xenia police shooting one suspect, sending him to the hospital.
The shooting happened just before 6pm Tuesday near Montana and Connecticut Dr. Police are being very tight-lipped about what happened. We do know a Xenia officer shot a robbery suspect, in the quiet residential neighborhood.
"I heard police sirens. I thought what the heck is going on, so I opened the front door and started out and hear boom!" said witness, James Booth.
Booth has lived in the Xenia neighborhood for nearly two decades.
"It's crazy, you never think it would happen over here," he said.
Several blocks were roped of with police tape, after investigators say an officer shot a man suspected in an armed robbery.
"His face was bloody when they took him off in the ambulance," Booth said.
Greene County dispatchers say right before the shooting the suspect robbed a Game Stop, less than two miles away. A brand new Playstation 3 and an ammunition clip, both marked as evidence sat on the side of the road, less than a block away from a hat and clothing believed to be the suspect's.
"It's scary to think ok, there's been a shooting on my street," another witness, Natasha Smith.
Smith was taking a nap when it all went down.
"I hear through my two fans that I have on high, 'pop, pop, pop, pop!' So get up, throw some clothes on and run outside," she said.
The condition of the robbery suspect isn't known at this time.
