An attempted robbery in Wilkes-Barre was foiled Sunday morning when a victim shot a man in the foot, police said.
Police have arrested two people in connection to the incident. The suspects are Jerome Kuren, 31, Harrison Avenue., of Scranton and Melissa Dunn, 26, Pine Street, of Wilkes-Barre.
According to police, Craig Budde, of Arthur Street, Hazleton, reported he accompanied Dunn to 41 Pine St. at about 8:10 a.m. Once there, he was confronted by Kuren, who was armed with a pipe. Kuren demanded Budde’s money, and Budde gave it to him.
Afterward, Kuren raised the pipe he was holding and approached Budde in a threatening manner. Budde produced a pistol and fired a round, striking Kuren in the foot.
Kuren was treated and released from Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township.
Budde is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, according to police.
Both Kuren and Dunn were taken into custody, and charges are pending while police continue to investigate.
