When officers approached the vehicle, they found the driver had a gunshot wound. The man told officers he had been shot during a robbery near Indian School Road, about six and a half miles from where he was stopped, and that he was trying to drive himself to a hospital.
Paramedics took the man to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. His name and current condition have not been released in the reports available so far.

Because the robbery is reported — the man's account to officers — and no suspect has been identified, Awaaz Punjab is reporting the circumstances as police described them. Further details are expected if detectives release an update.
