Two suspects were sent to the hospital after a shooting during an armed robbery on the south side of Youngstown late Friday night.

Police were called to Conroy's Party Shop on the 3500 block of South Avenue around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting.

Once on scene, police say they found two of the alleged robbers with gunshot wounds and said it was the store's owner that shot them. 

Police said there were five to six people inside the store at the time. 

Both victims were taken to St. Elizabeth in critical condition, but are expected to survive.

Detectives are investigating.
