Suspect injured in failed robbery
A robbery suspect wound up at NorthBay Medical Center Friday night, according to Fairfield police, who report that he was shot with his own gun.
The suspect was identified as 18-year-old Vedell Chew, a Fairfield resident. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the suspect reportedly approached a group of people who were gambling in the backyard of a residence in the 1800 block of Barbour Drive, according to police.
Police allege that as he attempted a robbery, one of the people in the group struggled with the suspect and grabbed his gun.
Meanwhile, several of the gamblers hit and kicked the suspect, according to police.
During the struggle, the suspect was shot in the leg with his own gun by one of his intended victims, according to police.
He was transported to NorthBay Medical Center by a waiting car.
The suspect's injuries are reportedly not life-threatening, and police intend to charge Chew with counts of robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
