Man Claims He Was Shot During Robbery Outside 9 Mile Road Store
January 14, 2011
Deputies are investigating the shooting of a Pensacola man who was an alleged victim of robbery at a Nine Mile Road grocery store.
Kenneth Wayne Dorton, 34, told deputies that he was walking to the Winn Dixie, 312 East Nine Mile Rd., at about 5 p.m. Thursday when he was approached by a young white male wearing a mask.
He said the man drove up in a white, older model Ford Ranger before stopping and getting out with a shotgun. According to Dorton, the man demanded money and when Dorton refused to cooperate, a scuffle ensued. During this altercation Dorton suffered a gunshot wound to his left knee.
Dorton claims that he was able to wrestle the shotgun away from his assailant and threw it towards dumpsters sitting along the roadway, according to a release from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. After being unarmed, Dorton said the suspect ran back to his truck and left the area. Deputies were unable to locate the shotgun at the scene.
Deputies were also unable to obtain a better description of the suspect from Dorton.
Dorton was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he was treated for his injury.
Anyone with any information concerning this case should call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

5pm on a Thursday….and no one saw or heard anything….highly unlikely
maybe he got shot elsewhere and didn’t want anyone to know that for whatever reason
me for common sense
I recon the 5 gazillion people who are traveling at 9 mile and chemstrand at that hour refused to call the sheriffs office when the shotgun went off and there was no one in the parking lot of winn dixie to hear it.
sounds pretty hokey but then there is a lot of hokie stuff going on right now.
I live literally 500 yds from that store and was working in the yard around that time. I didnt hear any gun shots. Theres a lot of trees around here though so maybe they killed the noise.
Curious to know whether any shots fired calls came in the sheriffs dept… That area is packed with traffic, both foot and automobile, at that time of the day.
hmmmm i shop here all the time. did this really happen or not?
Funny how the story reads “he claims” this happened.What is really going on?What happened to the gun? Why he didnt try to get the gun and defend himself? God help these people that are on drugs and robbing people.
