Apparent robbery attempt Tuesday night at boat repair shop; suspect at large

A man in his 50s died after he was shot during a reported robbery attempt Tuesday night at a boat repair shop in the 3500 block of C Street Northeast in Auburn.

Another man in his 50s was injured after he was assaulted with a gun, said Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman during a phone interview Wednesday. Police are looking for the suspect.

A truck pulled up outside the shop at about 9:40 p.m. A man entered the shop and demanded money. He then shot one man, who died at the scene, and assaulted the second man, Hirman said. Paramedics transported the second man to a local hospital. Hirman said he didn’t know if the man remained in the hospital or had been released.
