HAMPTON, Va. — Crime scene tape surrounded the Royal Farms gas station near the intersection of W. Mercury Boulevard and Martha Lee Drive in Hampton for much of the day Monday after police say an officer shot a man attempting to rob the gas station.
“Definitely makes us nervous," said Sheree Boyd.
Boyd is the co-owner of Pet World, located across the street from the Royal Farms gas station, where police say an officer unknowingly walked in on a man and woman attempting to rob the gas station around 4:15 Monday morning.
