Policeman Doyle drew his revolver, but a lookout he had not seen standing in the shadows near the Citizens Bank and Trust Company shot him in the back. Though wounded and falling, Policeman Doyle turned and shot five times at the lookout. The lookout continued shooting and the other burglars shot at the officer. Later Doyle would say that he believed that he struck the lookout once. Otherwise, none of the shots took effect in any direction.
