ORLANDO, Fla. – An electronics store worker was shot late Tuesday when he refused the demands of two would-be robbers, Orlando police officials said.

The employee refused and instead grabbed a knife. The men responded by shooting him and running to an awaiting car outside, police said.
Police said they believe the incident was a robbery, but the men did not take anything before shooting the victim.
The victim was being driven to a hospital, but stopped and called 911 near Turkey Lake and Conroy roads, authorities said. The victim is in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
No information on the attempted robbers was given.
