WASHINGTON (AP) — Police say an employee was shot during an attempted robbery at a Whole Foods Market in Washington, D.C.

The Metropolitan Police Department says the shooting happened Sunday morning inside the supermarket along a busy shopping strip in northeast Washington.

Police say the male suspect approached a cashier, pulled out a gun and demanded money. They say the gunman fired off a shot during a struggle, striking the worker.

A police spokeswoman says the male employee was taken to the hospital in critical condition. No one else was injured.
