Alleged Robber Shoots Accomplice in Eye

MIAMI — A man accidentally shot his accomplice in the eye Sunday during a botched robbery attempt, authorities said. The two suspects, who were not identified, attempted to rob security guard Corey Tully at a BrandsMart USA parking lot at 4:40 a.m, Miami-Dade police said.

One of the robbers pointed a gun at Tully and directed him to the ground, he told The Miami Herald.

Tully was struggling with the armed man when the accomplice came up from behind and tried to take him down to the ground. The gun fired and hit the accomplice in the eye, authorities said.

The two men fled in a car with three others, but later went to a hospital to get the wounded man treated. The man was listed in critical condition, Miami-Dade police spokesman Robert Williams said.

Hospital staff alerted police and the four men were arrested, Williams said.
