ROSWELL, Ga. (AP) - Police say an 18-year-old who robbed a taxi driver shot himself in the foot — literally.

Rodriquez Lamar Massett of Atlanta pulled a handgun after an Acapulco Taxi cab picked him up and drove him to a McDonald's restaurant, Roswell Police Sgt. James McGee said. The suspect took $74 and fled on foot but was spotted by police.

"While the suspect was running, the weapon discharged, striking the suspect in the foot," McGee said.

Massett was transported to North Fulton Regional Hospital with a minor injury, he said.
