Mobile Police Officer Chad Wynne shot at Midtown Winn-Dixie, in critical condition

MOBILE, Al.
 A Mobile police officer was shot and critically wounded during a robbery at the Midtown Winn-Dixie last night.

Officer Chad Wynne

Officer Chad Wynne was shot in the chest and is undergoing a second surgery at University of South Alabama Medical Center, according to Mobile Police Chief Micheal T. Williams.
Wynne is listed in critical condition.
Mobile police initially reported that the officer's last name is Wynn, but later confirmed that the correct spelling is Wynne.
Williams said two suspects entered the store after it had closed and held employees inside the store at gunpoint. One of the employees was able to call 911 and report the robbery.
Wynne was one of several off-duty police officers working jobs in the area who helped on-duty officers respond to the call at 11 p.m., Williams said.
Wynne was shot as he and other officers entered the grocery store, Williams said.
 Wynne graduated from police academy in 2006. He was named Officer of the Month in April 2007 after making 19 felony arrests in one month, including a group of burglars.
He is a graduate of McGill-Toolen Catholic High School and served in the U.S. Army.

One of the suspects was shot in an exchange of gunfire and is in surgery this morning, Williams said. His condition was unknown.
The name of the suspect in surgery will be released once he has been formally charged, Williams said.

Jackieth Harrison

Jackieth Harrison, 18, was arrested and charged with five counts of attempted murder and first-degree robbery.
Court records show no previous adult criminal charges against Harrison.

Williams declined to say what kind of guns the men were armed with, although he did say two guns were recovered from the scene.
City spokeswoman Barbara Drummond said Mayor Sam Jones was at the hospital while Wynn was in surgery early this morning, around 1 a.m.

The recently renovated Winn-Dixie grocery store is located at Catherine and Government streets.
In 2010, the Winn-Dixie grocery chain undertook a $4 million makeover and expansion of the store at Catherine and Government streets, touting the work as a key template for renovations of many of its more than 450 supermarkets.

Winn-Dixie then-Chief Executive Officer Peter Lynch said in October 2010 that the store, with its focus on fresh and local fare, would become "a showplace for the direction Winn-Dixie is taking the company."
