GUNMEN AMBUSH-SHOOT APARTMENT SECURITY OFFICERS
MEMPHIS, TN - Residents at a North Memphis apartment complex said they felt unprotected Saturday night after both of their security guards were ambushed at gunpoint.
Around three o'clock Saturday morning, gunshots rang out in the back of the complex.
Police say two security guards were sitting in a parked car when two men armed with handguns approached the vehicle and shot the security guard sitting in the driver's seat. One of the men opened the door and police say he aimed his gun at the second security guard, but the guard fired back. Police say the suspect fell to the ground, but they're not sure if he was wounded.
The security guard who was shot was transported to the MED in critical condition and police say the suspects fled in a dark colored vehicle.
Brenda Davis, a resident of the complex, said she moved to the complex less than a year ago and this is the second shooting that she's aware of. Davis said when the guards who are in place to protect residents become victims, she knows it's time to go.
"When I first moved over here I felt safe, but now I'm going to move," she said. "I'm not going to stay here."
