A shooting during an attempted robbery of a delivery driver Friday night sent one person to the hospital.

It happened just before 10:00 p.m. at Fairmont Court and Lakeshore Drive in Lexington.

Police said a Wing Zone delivery driver was making a run on Fairmont, when several men approached him as he got out of his car.

The driver told officers one of the men showed a gun and demanded cash. That's when the driver said he fired a gun, that was legally stored in his vehicle, in an attempt to defend himself.

The alleged robber shot was taken to UK Hospital. His name and condition have not been released.

Police are still searching for three other men believed to be involved.
