A Savannah man was in critical condition today after being shot in what has been described as a robbery attempt Saturday night.
The victim was taken to Memorial University Medical Center by another man who reported he was shot during a robbery near Joe and Rockefeller streets in the Eastside neighborhood about 10 p.m., said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.
The man told police he and the victim were approached by two men who tried to rob them. The victim was shot when he resisted.
Downtown Precinct Patrol officers had responded a few minutes earlier to a shots fired call in the area.
