Original Story
IRONTON, Ohio (WSAZ) --An attempted robbery ends with one person shot in the back, another in jail, and a 3rd on the run from police.

Lawrence County Ohio Sheriff Tim Sexton says the incident began at an apartment off County Road 1 in the Burlington area around 10 Sunday night.

The sheriff says 3 men went to that apartment with the intent to commit a theft. He says inside the apartment, a struggle ensued between 2 of the men and the couple who lived their. During that struggle, Sexton says one of the men was shot by the occupants.

The sheriff says the 3 then fled to the Sheridan Manor apartment complex in the South Point area. That's when emergency crews were called to treat the wounded man. The sheriff is not releasing his name or condition due to the ongoing investigation.

The sheriff says the person arrested is 27-year old Derrick Bailey of Columbus, Ohio. Bailey has been charged with complicity to commit aggravated robbery.
