A robbery in downtown Dallas early Sunday escalated into a shooting that left a juvenile suspect injured, according to police.
Dallas police said officers responded around 7 a.m. to reports of an active shooter on foot in the 1200 block of Commerce Street near the Civic Garden.
Investigators said a man told officers he had been robbed by a group of suspects who chased him between two locations along Commerce Street.
During the encounter, the victim physically confronted one of the suspects, who police identified as a juvenile. Authorities said the teenager was shot during the struggle.
The robbery victim was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening and has since been released, police said.
The juvenile suspect initially left the scene but was later located and transported to a hospital in stable condition.
Police have not released the suspect’s identity because the individual is a minor.
Investigators have not said whether the juvenile will face robbery charges or whether the victim could face charges related to the shooting. Authorities also have not announced any additional arrests.
The incident remains under investigation.
