A man shot and injured an alleged robber and fatally wounded another suspect who tried to run him over during an incident in Dania Beach Saturday evening, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said that around 6:52 p.m., authorities received several reports of a shooting near the 600 block of Stirling Road. 

Responding deputies learned a subject had been shot after allegedly robbing both a bystander and a business near the 800 block of Stirling Road.
