Thanks for the details.

I got the emergency call and was having trouble finding anything online about it.

Here's more from the Sheriff's Dept:

The Denton County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the help of the public in identifying a suspect who shot a man during a robbery earlier today.

He is described as a white male, 5’ 6” in height, 30-35 years of age, hazel-brown eyes, dark hair and with a muscular, athletic build. He was last seen wearing all black clothing and carrying a 12 gauge shotgun.

Anyone who recognizes the man should call the Sheriff’s Office at 940-349-1600.

The suspect had tied up two men at a Roanoke business about 10 a.m. when another man walked in. The robber then shot the man in the foot and stole his car. One of the victims got free and called 911 from a near-by church. The wounded man was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, where he was reported in fair condition and undergoing surgery.

A description of the vehicle was broadcast to all law enforcement officers. A Precinct 4 Constable spotted the vehicle and chased it into the Chadwick Farms subdivision, southeast of the intersection of State Highway 114 and IH35-W. The suspect abandoned the vehicle, jumped a fence and fled on foot. Witnesses reported the man got in a grayish tan Chevrolet Silverado, possibly with an extended cab, and drove off.

Area law enforcement agencies closed off access to the neighborhood and searched for the man for six hours. Search teams went house-to-house in the subdivision while the surrounding woods and creek beds were searched by helicopter and tracking dogs. Residents were allowed back in their houses at 5 p.m., and adjacent areas were searched for another hour.

More than 40 law enforcement officers from the Denton County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Fort Worth, Roanoke, Northlake, Justin, Lewisville and Double Oak police departments were involved in the search for the suspect, who remains at large.

Well that stinks. I wouldn't think he could get away from all that but I guess he did.
