Ohio – North Olmsted police shot a robbery suspect after he opened fire on the officers Monday morning, a city spokesman said.

The shooting happened shortly after a man tried to rob a Starbucks about 8 a.m. on Dover Center Road near Lorain Road. The man shot at officers before he jumped into a vehicle and sped away, the city of North Olmsted said in a news release.

The man has been taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries, police said. An update on his condition was not immediately available.

The incident began when the man walked into the Starbucks with a gun. He ordered everyone inside to get on the ground, according to the city’s news release.
