A Good Samaritan stepped in to help a victim during an early morning robbery in Lexington.
Police said a gunman approached the victim on Alexandria Drive shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday. The suspect pulled out a gun and tried to rob the victim.
The victim ran to a nearby convenience store for help, police said.
The owner of that store told WKYT he heard shots being fired. He went outside to see someone asking for help and a man with a gun.
Police said the suspect fired the first shot and the store owner returned fire.
The store owner and the victim were not hurt. The store owner told WKYT his gun jammed, or he would have fired more shots. He wasn't sure if the suspect was hit by a bullet.
Police are still looking for the gunman.
