Suspect Critical in Ga. Mall Shooting
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A man accused of trying to rob an armored car guard at a shopping mall was in critical condition Tuesday with a gunshot wound to the face, police said.
David Broderick, 41, was charged with aggravated assault and was to face other charges stemming from the robbery attempt and shootout at Arbor Place Mall on Monday, police Maj. Oliver Fladrich said.
Broderick owns a "music memorabilia business of some sort" and apparently has no criminal history, Fladrich said.
Douglasville police said they did not know whether Broderick had an attorney.
The Brinks guard, whose identity was not released, was shot in the leg during a shootout that sent a lunchtime crowd at the mall diving for cover. Both he and Broderick were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, about 20 miles away. The guard was released Monday night.
Detectives have not ruled out the possibility that Broderick was working with an accomplice, Fladrich said.
"We're still following several leads, trying to exhaust every resource we can to see what happened," Fladrich said. "We're not ruling anything out at this point."
